THE STRAFACIS

Frank Strafaci, grandfather of current U.S. Amateur champ Tyler Strafaci, almost knocked Arnold Palmer out of the 1954 U.S. Amateur. Frank won the Met Amateur seven times. Both of Tyler’s parents, Frank Jr. and Jill, p‡ayed golf for the University of Florida. In 2021 the Strafacis became the second family to send grandfather and grandson to the Masters (after Tommy Armour and Tommy Armour III).
