Ed Fiori

Edward Ray Fiori (born April 21, 1953) is an American professional golfer who has played on the PGA and Champions Tour.

Early life and education
Fiori was born in Lynwood, California. During his childhood, Fiori would sneak through a barbed wire fence to a nine-hole course near his home in Downey, California, to practice his game. He attended the University of Houston where he played on the golf team. He turned pro in 1977 and joined the PGA Tour in 1978.

Career
Fiori won four tournaments on the PGA Tour. His first win was at the 1979 Southern Open. His last victory at the 1996 Quad City Classic led to the postponement of his plans to retire from the game and become a charter-boat captain. Fiori's previous PGA tour victory was at the 1982 Bob Hope Desert Classic. Fiori beat Tiger Woods at Quad City preventing Woods from gaining his first PGA Tour title. This would be the first of only four times in Woods' career that he would fail to win after holding the 54-hole-lead, and the only one until Yang Yong-eun outplayed Woods 13 years later at the 2009 PGA Championship.

Personal life
Fiori has been plagued with weight-related health problems, including spinal fusion surgery. He lives in the Houston suburb of Sugar Land, Texas.
