Former Domer Billy Casper Passes at Age 83


World Golf Hall of Famer Billy Casper died yesterday at the age of 83.  He won 51 golf tournaments -- seventh most in history -- including the 1959 US Open and the 1970 Masters.

What many don't know is Billy Casper enrolled as a student-athlete at the University of Notre Dame back in the fall of 1950.  He never finished his first semester at ND -- see story linked below. 

You'll enjoy browsing the photo album from his return to campus back in 2012:
