Major Champion nearest your birthday

Devious. This is just a way of figuring out how old everybody is. Gary Player, 1961 Masters. The purse was a whopping $20,000.
 
Crap, Patrick Reed is two days past mine. Explains a lot. o_O
 
My birthday is right smack in the middle of Jack Nicklaus winning the PGA Championship at end of February and Charles Coody winning the Masters.
 
Born Dec. 2nd, 1986. Closest would be Bob Tway at the PGA Championship in August of '86. Larry Mize at the Masters in '87 would be just a few more days away but they were both close to 4 months.
 
Hale Irwin won the U.S. Open at Inverness a week after I was born. Pretty cool. Gary Player was tied for second.

Fred Couples was 19 and playing in his first major. He was the low amateur.
 
John Mahaffey. Never heard of him. The major before that though, a certain Golden Bear won.
 
Gary Player won the 1962 PGA Championship at Aronimink Golf Club.
 
Dave Marr, 1965 PGA Championship.
 
Gary Player in the PGA at Oakland Hills
 
Jack sets the record....
