Ed Furgol

Edward Joseph Furgol (March 24, 1917 – March 6, 1997) was an American professional golfer. He is best known for winning the 1954 U.S. Open.

Furgol was Polish-American born in New York Mills, New York.

At age twelve, Furgol injured his left elbow when he fell off a set of parallel bars at a playground. Despite several surgeries, the elbow never healed correctly and was left with a crooked arm ten inches (25 cm) shorter as a result. On the recommendation of his doctors, he took up golf.

Furgol won six times on the PGA Tour, including one major championship, the 1954 U.S. Open. Furgol won the 1954 Canada Cup as both an individual and teammate. He also played on the Ryder Cup team in 1957.

Although he was from the same town as fellow tour player Marty Furgol (1916–2005), they were not related.

Frugal was married to Helen. He died at age 79 in Miami Shores, Florida.
