Dow Finsterwald

DOW CRASHES

That gift horse for deadpooling writers – a golfer who dies of a stroke. Dow Finsterwald won 12 PGA Tours, most notably the 1958 PGA Championship, where he eked past Billy Casper. Said tourney was notable for being the first PGA Championship to use stroke play instead of match play, because the former worked better on television. He was also a close friend of Arnold Palmer. Finsterwald was 93 and a reprieve for a duo of golf theme teams that are reeling from the strange lack of a Peter Butler obit.
