4-Bar PGA Tour Champion Dies on Fiori 72

Ed Foree, who won four titles on the PGA Tour, including the 1996 Quad Cities Classic, who stopped Tiger Woods from his first win, died of cancer at 72 pm on Sunday.
Linwood, Foree, a native of California, won his first title in the 1979 southern Open, then added victory to the 1981 Western Open and 1982 Bob Hope desert classic.
FIROI is known for his victory at the Quad Cities Classic, now known as John Dear Classic, when he defeated a 20 -year -old Woods in the final round at the Oakwood Country Club in the Coal Valley, sick.
Fiory said, “You root your playing partner, he roots for you and maybe you can feed each other and continue it,” Fiori said how his two days were playing with Woods, who was only participating in his third event on a PGA tour. “Playing with Tiger increased my intensity a bit. It brought my game with it, I think.”
Woods led Fiory, who was 42 years old at the time, entered the final round by a shot. Woods drove Fiory away from T, but eventually faded, opened the door to Fiori, who shot 67 to capture Andrew Maggi for a two-shot win. Woods, who killed the quadruple-bogie on the fourth hole, shot 72 and finished the T5.
During the last round of John Deere Classic, the PGA tour reflected Fiory’s legacy and praised his determination in his fight against cancer.
PGA Tour Champions President Miller Brady said, “Ed Fiori was a true gentleman in our game, and a player who was often referred to as a supporter.”
“Three of their four wins on the PGA Tour, he submerged Stretch in 1996 with members of the Future World Golf Hall of Fame, especially Tiger Woods. Tiger Wood in 1996.
“That will be remembered by all of us on the tour.”
