Timeline

1927

Michael Souchak (May 10, 1927 – July 10, 2008) was an American professional golfer who won fifteen events on the PGA Tour in the 1950s and 1960s, and played for the Ryder Cup teams in 1959 and 1961.

Born and raised in Berwick, Pennsylvania, Souchak served two years as a gunner in the U.S. Navy.

He then attended Duke University in Durham, North Carolina, and played both golf and football for the Blue Devils, as an end and placekicker.

1955

In his first win at the 1955 Texas Open, Souchak set and tied several records.

In the first round, he tied the tour's 18-hole record with a 60.

Souchak's fifteen PGA Tour wins came between 1955 and 1964, with his best year in 1956 (four victories).

1959

He won three tour titles in 1959, and was on an early cover of Sports Illustrated in January 1956, for its preview of the Bing Crosby Pro-Am.

Souchak had eleven top-10 finishes at major championships, including third-place finishes at the U.S. Open in 1959 and 1960.

1960

Souchak led after 36 holes in 1960 with a new record score of 135, which was 7-under-par.

But he struggled on the final hole of the third round (which was played on the same day as the fourth round,) making a triple bogey, and couldn't regain his composure.

Arnold Palmer, who had been seven strokes behind entering the final round, shot 65 to win the championship.

1970

Souchak moved from North Carolina to Florida in 1970 and became the first head pro at the Innisbrook Resort and Golf Club in Palm Harbor, and resided in Belleair with his wife Nancy.

He had four children: sons Mike, Frank, and Chris Souchak and daughter Patti Taylor, as well as five grandchildren.

1975

This first round also included a record-breaking 27 on the back nine holes, a record that was tied by Andy North in 1975, Billy Mayfair in 2001 and Robert Gamez in 2004, and broken by Corey Pavin in 2006.

He then finished with a 72-hole record of 257 (27-under-par).

1976

He was inducted into the Duke Sports Hall of Fame in 1976.

1977

This record was finally broken in 1977 by Al Geiberger's 59, and then lowered by Jim Furyk's 58 in 2016.

1980

Souchak played on the Senior PGA Tour (now called the PGA Tour Champions) from its inception in 1980 until 1990.

His best finish was second place in his very first tournament, the Atlantic City Senior International in 1980.

2001

This record stood until 2001, when Mark Calcavecchia shot 256 at the Phoenix Open, and lowered two years later by Tommy Armour III (254) at the Texas Open.

2008

He ran Golf Car Systems, a preventive maintenance firm, with his partner Bill Dodd until his death from complications of a heart attack in 2008.
