Mark John Calcavecchia (born June 12, 1960) is an Americanprofessional golfer and a formerPGA Tour member. During his professional career, he won 13 PGA Tour events, including the1989 Open Championship. He plays on theChampions Tour as well as a limited PGA Tour schedule that includes The Open Championship.

Early life

[edit]

Calcavecchia was born inLaurel, Nebraska.[2] While he was a teenager, his family moved from Nebraska toWest Palm Beach, Florida in 1973.[3] He attended North Shore High School in West Palm Beach, and won theFlorida high school golf championship in 1977 while playing for the North Shore golf team.[4] While playing in junior tournaments, Calcavecchia often competed againstJack Nicklaus' son, Jackie, and as a result began a lifelong friendship at the age of 14 with the legendary pro.[5][6]

Amateur career

[edit]

He accepted an athletic scholarship to theUniversity of Florida inGainesville, where he played for head coachBuster Bishop and head coach John Darr'sFlorida Gators men's golf teams inNational Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) competition from 1978 to 1980.[7] Calcavecchia earned first-team All-Southeastern Conference (SEC) honors in 1979.[7]

Professional career

[edit]

Calcavecchia turned professional in 1981 and joined thePGA Tour in 1982, but lost his card after the1985 season.[8] His most notable achievement was in1989, when he wonThe Open Championship (the "British Open"), one of the fourmajor championships, by beatingWayne Grady andGreg Norman in a four-hole playoff atRoyal Troon inScotland.[9][10]

Upon being awarded the Open'sClaret Jug, Calcavecchia (whose Italian surname translates as "old crowd") asked "How's my name going to fit on that thing?"[11] He later revealed that he had initially not wanted to play in the Open Championship that year due to his wife expecting their first child, but he was persuaded to fly to Scotland to compete in the tournament by his wife.[12] He also revealed that he didn't know that the Open Championship had a four-hole aggregate playoff format until just before he teed off in the playoff.[13] Calcavecchia shares the record for the lowest back nine in the Masters at 29, in 1992. 1989 was Calcavecchia's only multiple-win season on the PGA Tour, with two other titles complementing the Open. He also finished second behindSandy Lyle at the1988 Masters Tournament by a single stroke.[14]

Calcavecchia has won 13 times on the PGA Tour and 13 times in other professional events. He spent 109 weeks in the top 10 of theOfficial World Golf Rankings from 1988 to 1991.[15] In winning the 2001Phoenix Open, he set the Tour scoring record at that time by making 32 birdies in 72 holes finishing at 28 under par for the tournament. He has won the Phoenix Open three times (1989, 1992, 2001), and his margins of victory in the Phoenix tournament are also his three largest. He was a member of the U.S.Ryder Cup team in 1987, 1989, 1991 and 2002. His performance in 1991 is most remembered, as he lost a four-hole lead toColin Montgomerie in the last four holes of his round. Thinking he had cost his team the victory, he broke down in tears—not knowing the U.S. team would still win.[citation needed]

On July 25, 2009, Calcavecchia set a PGA Tour record by getting nine consecutivebirdies during his second round at theRBC Canadian Open at theGlen Abbey Golf Course inOakville, Ontario, Canada. The birdies came on the 12th through 18th holes, and then on the first and second hole (he started his round on the 10th hole).[16] The previous record of eight consecutive birdies was held by six golfers includingJ. P. Hayes, who was one of his partners at the time Calcavecchia achieved the new record.[17] Calcavecchia joined theChampions Tour in 2010,[6][18] but still plays a limited PGA Tour schedule that includes The Open Championship. His eligibility for The Open expired in 2020 after he turned 60, but after theCOVID-19 pandemic cancelled that tournament, he wasgrandfathered into the 2021 tournament, but was unable to attend due to surgery. Calcavecchia's exemption was extended to 2022.

Personal life

[edit]

Calcavecchia has two children, Eric and Britney, with his ex-wife Sheryl.[5] He married, secondly, on May 5, 2005 inLake Como,Italy, to Brenda Nardecchia.[19] He has homes inJupiter, Florida andPhoenix, Arizona.[3][6]
