Jacky Cupit, a four-time PGA Tour winner, 1961 Rookie of the Year, and two-time All-American at the University of Houston, died Wednesday, March 4, 2026, in Carrollton, Texas, at age 88. The Longview native overcame early hardships to achieve notable success in professional golf, including a historic sibling finish at the 1961 Canadian Open and a runner-up at the 1963 U.S. Open.
J.J. Spaun, the 2025 U.S. Open champion, turned down a request from the USGA to donate his victory putter to their archives. The putter was key to his dramatic winning birdie at Oakmont Country Club last June. Instead, Spaun provided his driver as a substitute.
