George Fazio (November 12, 1912 – June 6, 1986) was an American professional golfer and a golf course architect.
Fazio, born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, was a respected player in the mid-twentieth century and competed in seven Masters Tournaments from 1947 to 1954.
Fazio won two PGA Tour events: the 1946 Canadian Open and the 1947 Bing Crosby Pro-Am (in a tie with Ed Furgol).
He nearly won the 1950 U.S. Open at Merion Golf Club outside Philadelphia, finishing third to Ben Hogan and Lloyd Mangrum in an 18-hole playoff.
[1] Like most golfers of his generation, Fazio earned his living primarily as a club pro during his regular career years.
