Dan Halldorson, Canadian who won on PGA Tour, dies at 63 (The Associated Press)

OAKVILLE, Ontario (AP) -- Dan Halldorson, who won the 1980 Pensacola Open for his lone PGA Tour title and was one of Canada's most consistent golfers, died Thursday. He was 63.

Golf Canada and the Mackenzie Tour-PGA Tour Canada said he had a stroke Monday at his home in Cambridge, Illinois.

At Pensacola, Halldorson finished with a 2-under 70 to beat Mike Sullivan and Gary Hallberg by two strokes. The Manitoba native also won the 1986 Deposit Guaranty Golf Classic in Mississippi, an unofficial PGA Tour event played the same week as Jack Nicklaus' last Masters victory.
