Don January, winner of the 1967 PGA Championship, died Sunday at the age of 93, the PGA Tour announced.
The Texas native won four consecutive NCAA Division I titles (1949-52) before embarking on a professional career. He won 10 times and was runner-up 17 times on the PGA Tour, and was awarded the 1976 Vardon Trophy for lowest scoring average at age 47. He played on the United States’ Ryder Cup teams in 1965 and 1977.
He won his only major, the PGA, at Columbine Country Club in Denver when he shot a 7-under 281 for the tournament.
From 1980 to 1987, after turning 50, January won 22 PGA Tour Champions. He earned his first win on the fledgling tour, the 1980 Atlantic City Senior International, and went on to win the PGA Senior Championship twice.
He also spent some time designing the golf course.
