DIG NEWTON
Golfer Jack Newton has died at 72 after suffering from Alzheimer’s. Born in Australia, he won several golf tournaments but winning one of the majors eluded him, being bridesmaided by Tom Watson in the 1975 Open and by Seve Ballesteros in the 1980 Masters. He was lucky to survive a career-ending freak accident in which he walked into a plane propeller during a rainstorm and lost his right arm and eye. After a long recovery, he returned to the golf world as a commentator and youth mentor and even learned how to play one-handed. He was picked, for the first time in the DDP since 2003(!), by The DOA Tour.
