Mark Lye is one of the most popular and richest Golfer who was born on November 13, 1952 in Vallejo, California, United States.
Lye was born in Vallejo, California. He attended San Jose State University, where he was a three-time All-American as a member of the golf team. He graduated in 1975 and turned pro later that year.
Before Lye joined the PGA Tour he played in Australia. He won the Australian Tour’s 1976 Colgate Champion of Champions by one stroke over New Zealand’s Simon Owen and two over crowd favorite Kel Nagle. Lye did not even expect to stay in Australia after he failed to qualify for that year’s Australian Open. A friend encouraged him to remain and play in the Melbourne event. After he won Lye exclaimed, “My God, I don’t know what to say. I’m more surprised than all of you people.” After a decent start (70-71) he was three under and easily made the cut but was still six shots behind Nagle. Lye then played excellently over the weekend, shooting 68-67 to overcome his competitors. He defeated an elite field that included, in addition to Owen and Nagle, 1975 U.S. Open champion Lou Graham, 1975 Open Championship winner Tom Watson, and recent Australian Tour champion Greg Norman. Lye would ultimately win the 1976 PGA Tour of Australia Order of Merit.
