Who was Billy Casper?

Question

I don't mean the character from the Ken Loach movie - apparently there was a US golfer with the same name?

Answer 1

Yep, Billy Casper, known as Buffalo Bill thanks to his diet of Buffalo meat, was one of the more underrated golfers in history, winning three majors and, between 1964 and 1970, winning 27 times on the PGA Tour - that's four more times than Nicklaus, and eight more than Palmer and Player combined. Casper also played on 8 US Ryder Cup teams, winning more points than any other American player.
