Re: No more treatment available for my wife's appendix cancer. Thanks for the reply. The cancer has spread diffusely in the peritoneum and appears to be affecting the nerves controlling the bowel - so a stoma isn't really an option unless the gut regains some function and surgery isn't an option either.
Another longest drive in PGA Tour history is credited to Mike Austin, 64 years old at the time, who hit a 515-yard drive on Sept. 25, 1974 in the National Seniors Open Championship, the pre-cursor to the U.S. Senior Open. Austin hit the drive on a 450-yard par 4 at Desert Rose Golf Club in Las Vegas.
That makes his four years older than Sam Snead, who is the oldest player to make the cut on the PGA Tour, doing so in the 1979 Manufacturers Hanover Westchester Classic at the age of 67 years, 2 months, 21 days. Curiously, two weeks prior, in the 1979 PGA Championship, Snead became the oldest player to make a cut in a major championship.
