4-Time Colorado Open Champion Dave Hill Dies

Colorado Golf Hall of Fame member Dave Hill, who won the Colorado Open in 1971, 1976, 1977 and 1981, died September 27 in Jackson, Mich. He was 74.

Hill won 13 PGA Tour events and appeared in three Ryder Cups. He finished second in the 1970 U.S. Open at Hazeltine in Minnesota, famously remarking the course “lacked only 80 acres of corn and a few cows to be a good farm” and that architect Robert Trent Jones “had the blueprints upside down.”

A Jackson native, Hill lived in Evergreen, Colo. during the 1970s.
