Timeline
John Neuman Cook (born October 2, 1957) is an American professional golfer, who won eleven times on the PGA Tour and was a member of the Ryder Cup team in 1993.
He attended Miraleste High School in Rancho Palos Verdes and graduated in 1976.
In addition to golf, Cook was a promising but undersized quarterback in football through his sophomore year.
He was advised by his high school golf coach (who also coached football) to concentrate on golf, which would give him his best opportunity for a collegiate scholarship.
The coach, Wilbur Lucas, later said it was the only time he suggested an athlete drop a sport.
Cook was also coached by former PGA Tour star Ken Venturi.
Cook was offered a scholarship to Ohio State University in Columbus, and was personally advised to accept by Jack Nicklaus and Tom Weiskopf.
He won the Sunnehanna Amateur in 1977 and 1979 and the California State Amateur in 1975.
Cook won the U.S. Amateur in 1978 at age 20, and nearly won it again in 1979, falling to Mark O'Meara in the finals.
Cook won the Ohio Amateur in 1978 and 1979, and also won the 1978 and 1979 Northeast Amateur held at Wannamoisett Country Club.
The Associated Press opened its report by stating, "A professional golfing career that will be watched closely, that of 1978 U.S. Amateur golf champion John Cook, began today in Napa's $300,000 PGA Tour event."
He was a member of the Buckeyes' 1979 NCAA Championship team, which also included Joey Sindelar.
Following the 1979 U.S. Amateur in early September, Cook turned professional.
Cook played his first PGA Tour event as a professional in September 1979.
He played the Anheuser-Busch Golf Classic, the tour's annual event in Napa County, California on a sponsor's exemption.
Cook's first PGA Tour victory came in the 1981 storm-plagued Bing Crosby National Pro-Am.
The event was shortened to 54 holes due to the weather conditions.
Irwin, the last of the four men that Cook eliminated in the playoff, was gracious in defeat: "John is a special young man. He deserved to win. He is one of the best new young players on the tour."
Cook's second PGA Tour win came in 1983 at the Canadian Open.
He won with a birdie putt on the sixth extra hole of a playoff against Johnny Miller, after both players parred the first five extra holes.
He was inducted into the Ohio State Varsity O Hall of Fame in 1986.
At the 1990 Las Vegas Invitational, Cook lost a playoff to Bob Tway in memorable fashion.
On the first hole of sudden-death, Cook hit a sand wedge shot into the hole from 95 yards for an apparent birdie only to see the ball bounce out of the hole and come to rest 15 ft away and off the green.
Tway won the playoff with a routine par.
He was ranked in the top ten of the Official World Golf Ranking for 45 weeks in 1992 and 1993.
Cook currently plays on the PGA Tour Champions and is a studio analyst on Golf Channel.
Born in Toledo, Ohio, Cook is the son of PGA Tour official Jim Cook and grew up in southern California.
In 1992, Cook won three tour events, including a two-shot victory at the United Airlines Hawaiian Open after shooting two closing rounds of 65.
He moved into the top-10 of the Official World Golf Ranking for the first time that year.
Cook has had seven top-10 finishes in major championships.
The closest he came to winning a major during his career was when he led The Open Championship at Muirfield in 1992 by two shots late in the final round.
Cook had at least one PGA Tour win from 1996 through 1998.
His victory in the FedEx St. Jude Classic in 1996 came after his opening three rounds (64-62-63) broke the lowest total in PGA Tour history for the first 54 holes at 189.
He appeared as himself in a non-speaking role in the 1996 film Tin Cup.
The last of Cook's eleven PGA Tour wins came in the Reno-Tahoe Open in 2001 at age 43.
In October 2007, Cook became eligible to play on the Champions Tour.
Cook missed a two-foot (0.6 m) birdie putt on the 17th that would have given him a three-shot lead.
He bogeyed the 18th and lost the Open by one stroke to Nick Faldo, who birdied two of the last four holes to overtake Cook.
Afterward, Cook said, "I definitely let one slip away. I had a chance to win a major championship and I didn't."
