Gary Player was the first non-american golfer to win four grand
slam tournaments.
"Gary Player (1935-present) The most successful non-American golfer in
history, this South African has won nine majors. When Player took his
only U.S. Open crown in 1965, he not only became the first
non-American to win that tournament in 45 years, but he also became
one of three (now five) golfers (along with Nicklaus, Woods, Hogan,
and Gene Sarazen) to win all four modern Grand Slam events. Nicknames
include "The Black Knight" for his dress and "Mr. Fitness" for his
devotion to exercise."
