Bio of Golfer Ed 'Porky' Oliver

Ed "Porky" Oliver was a PGA Tour winner and Ryder Cup player in the 1940s and 1950s. A very popular player, he loved having fun on the course. But he developed a reputation for being a hard-luck golfer due to numerous second-place showings in big tournaments, including majors. He was disqualified from a U.S. Open in which he would otherwise have been in a playoff. Oliver's golf career, and his life, ended in his mid-40s.
