Doug Sanders, 'Peacock of the Fairways,' A colorful dresser who was a fan favorite on the PGA Tour, he won 20 events but no major tournaments, missing a crucial putt at the British Open. Sanders lit up the otherwise staid golf circuit of his time with his colorful attire and became a fan favorite while winning 20 PGA Tour events, only to fall just short of capturing a major tournament. Famously, he missed a three-foot putt for the 1970 British Open championship, then lost to Jack Nicklaus by one shot in an 18-hole playoff. He had previously tied for second at the British and United States Opens and at the P.G.A. Championship.
