OK - I'll throw in a fun (?) quiz from current events. This weekend I watched a good bit of the Masters Tournament, and witnessed Bubba Watson's somewhat unexpected win. [He claims never to have taken a golf lesson.]

So.... The four leading annual events in men's world golf are the Masters Tournament, U.S. Open, The (British) Open Championship, and the PGA Championship. In recent history, say from 1960 to present, name the golfer with the most life time wins for each of these tournaments.

Masters:
US Open:
British Open:
PGA Championship:

Tee up & FORE!

Jack Nicklaus, Ben Hogan, Gary Player, Tiger Woods... I remember my father watching every TV golf match, playing along with the pros from the comfort of the living room!

Although I know the names, I don't have the foggiest idea of what or which they won!

Hey now! We've had cricket questions before! OK, cricket is questionably a sport

But golf is international .....

[and no math is involved aside from simple counting]

Ugh... So we can't do it for now, but maybe it'll come up later when we do other numbers

Just curious, I'm stuck on number 89 as well. Could you try?

OK - so I killed the thread with a golf question?

The answer(s) are actually very easy! Really!

I was waiting for a response to Stitchawl's answer (he did mention Nicklaus).

I'll take a guess:

PGA: Seve Ballesteros?
British Open: Seve Ballesteros?

So ... red_pheonix gets 3 and Bilbo gets 1.

I would never have gotten it if Stitchawl had not provided his name. I believe it is actually Sneakysnake's turn but since they are both probably asleep right now I will try this one.

In honour of the Kentucky Derby, the first of the Triple Crown Races, in what year was the Triple Crown last won?

Bonus points if you know the names of the last horse to win the Triple Crown, the jockey, trainer or owner.
