Golf Betting Lines

08/08/2008 - Philadelphia, PA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Orville Moody, the 1969 U.S. Open champion, passed away in Texas on Friday. No cause of death was released.

Moody later claimed the 1989 U.S. Senior Open making him one of seven players to capture both of those titles. Joining Moody on that exclusive list are Gary Player, Billy Casper, Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus, Lee Trevino and Hale Irwin.

Moody was given the nickname "Sarge" because of his U.S. Army career.

"We are all going to miss 'Sarge' who was a patriot first and a professional golfer second," said PGA Tour Commissioner Tim Finchem. "He embodied a bit of golf's everyman whom we all could identify with, having risen from his Oklahoma roots as part Native American (Choctaw Indian) and serving his country in a 14-year Army career.

"He will always be remembered for winning the 1969 U.S. Open, the last player to win after being in local and sectional qualifying. Orville later added a U.S. Senior Open to his resume in a successful Champions Tour career. Our thoughts go out to his family and our membership mourns his loss, yet we take solace that his legacy will inspire generations to come."

Along with his U.S. Senior Open title, Moody won 11 times on the Champions Tour. His last official Champions Tour start was back in 2003 at the Constellation Energy Classic.
