Ed Updegraff

Edgar Rice Updegraff (March 1, 1922 – December 23, 2022) was an American amateur golfer and urologist.

[1][2] Updegraff was born in Boone, Iowa, and is a descendant of the Dutch[3] and German Op den Graeff family.

[1] He eventually settled into practice in Tucson, Arizona, in 1951, partially because of the opportunity to continue playing golf there.

[2] He also finished in a tie for 4th place at the 1969 Tucson Open on the PGA Tour but failed to sign his scorecard and was disqualified.

[5] Updegraff received the Bob Jones Award from the United States Golf Association in 1999.

Possible, but not proven coat of arms Op den Graeff as descendants of Herman op den Graeff (Heraldic representation by Matthias Laurenz Gräff based on the Krefeld Op den Graeff stained glass window from 1630, which may depict the “Lohengrin swan” of the Kleve coat of arms in one window)
