Butch Baird
Fred "Butch" Baird (born July 20, 1936) is an American professional golfer. He played on the PGA Tour and the Senior PGA Tour.
Baird was born in Chicago, Illinois. He learned the game at the age of 14 from his father. After he graduated from high school he worked in the oil industry for a few years.
In 1959, Baird turned professional. Baird won two official PGA Tour events during his career: the 1961 Waco Turner Open and the 1976 San Antonio Texas Open. The San Antonio victory came 15 years, 5 months and 10 days after the Waco win, and was the record for longest time span between victories in PGA history until eclipsed by Robert Gamez in 2005. His career year came in 1976, when in addition to his San Antonio win, he finished 46th on the money list with $58,192. Also in 1976, came his best finish in a major championship — a T-4 at the U.S. Open.
He now has a golf-memorabilia marketing business, BBJM Golf Enterprises, with partner Jack Mishler.
Baird now lives in Scottsdale, Arizona. His son, Briny, is also a professional golfer.

*Note: The 1989 Northville Long Island Classic was played over 16 holes for each round due to flooding.
Senior PGA Tour playoff record (1–1)
