Kelvin David George Nagle AM (21 December 1920 – 29 January 2015) was an Australian professional golfer best known for winning The Open Championship in 1960. He won at least one tournament each year from 1949 to 1975.
Nagle was born in North Sydney.
Because of five-and-a-half years of World War II military service (1939–45), Nagle got a late start on pro golf, as he didn't play any golf between ages 19-24, and turned pro at age 25 (1946). He made up for the lost time by winning at least one tournament each year from 1949 to 1975. During his early career, he had a long swing and was regarded as the longest hitter on the Australasia tour, as evidenced by the Australian press dubbing him as "the Pymble Crusher". By age 39 (in 1960, when he won The Open Championship), Nagle had shortened his swing and become a straight hitter with what Gary Player described as "the best short game out here".

This is the full, unedited version of my CNN interview with joint 3rd round leader, Jason Day at the 2015 Open Championship at St Andrews. To introduce him to the granddaughter of the 1960 Open Champion at St Andrews was totally unplanned! We had met during the week and become friendly. She is a class act, like her late Grandfather, based on everything I've heard about him. This was a lovely moment, that I will remember for a long time. Jason Day is such a gentleman, too. There are many majors in his future.
