Robert R. Panasik (Шаблон:Ne Panasiuk; October 20, 1941 – December 27, 2023) was a Canadian professional golfer.
Early life
Born in Windsor, Ontario, he was known as Panasiuk until 1970 when he changed his name to Panasik so it would be "easier to pronounce".[1][2]
In 1957, at the age of 15, Panasik made the halfway cut in the Canadian Open to become the youngest player ever to play all four rounds in a PGA Tour event,[1][3] a record which stood until April 2013 when his record was broken by Guan Tianlang.[4]
Professional career
Panasik went on to win the Canadian PGA Championship twice as well as many provincial tournaments in Canada. He also qualified for the U.S. Open on several occasions and represented Canada in three World Cups.
Panasik continued his success as a senior, playing one full season on the Senior PGA Tour in 1994. Back in Canada, he has won the Canadian PGA Seniors Championship three times and the Super Seniors Championship twice.[5]
Death
Panasik died on December 27, 2023, at the age of 82.[6]
Awards and honors
Panasik was inducted into the Canadian Golf Hall of Fame in 2005.[7]
