Bruce Devlin
Bruce William Devlin (born 10 October 1937) is an Australian professional golfer, sportscaster , and golf course designer. He turned pro in 1961 and joined the PGA Tour in 1962 after an amateur career in Australia which included a win at the Australian Amateur in 1959. During his PGA Tour career, he had eight victories between 1964 and 1972.
At the 72nd hole of the 1975 Andy Williams-San Diego Open Invitational, Devlin shot a 10 after hitting multiple shots into the water in front of the 18th green of the Torrey Pines South Course. The pond was thereafter nicknamed "Devlin's Billabong”. Devlin is also one of only four golfers to have scored a double eagle at the Masters' Tournament. He achieved this in the first round of the 1967 Masters, holing a 4-wood from 248-yards on the par-five 8th hole.
The main focus of Devlin's career in the past 30 years has been his work as a golf course architect. Bruce has designed and built more than 150 golf courses throughout the world including Australia, Japan, Scotland, the Bahamas, and the United States. His golf design business is based in Scottsdale, Arizona, although approximately two-thirds of the courses he has designed have been in Florida and Texas.
