Graham Vivian Marsh MBE (born 14 January 1944) is an Australian golfer. In 1968, Marsh turned pro and won several tournaments on the Australasian circuits early in his career. He joined the PGA Tour in the mid-1970s and won the 1977 Heritage Classic. However, he elected to focus the remainder of his career overseas, ultimately winning ten times on the European Tour and twenty times on the Japan Golf Tour. As a senior, he continued with much success on the Champions Tour, winning two senior majors, including the U.S. Senior Open.

Early life

Marsh was born in Kalgoorlie, Western Australia. His brother was cricketer Rod Marsh.

Marsh attended the University of Western Australia and Claremont Teachers College. Marsh is a former mathematics teacher.{{Cite web|title=Marsh the 'Danger Man'|url=https://eresources.nlb.gov.sg/newspapers/Digitised/Article/newnation19740227-1.2.35.9?ST=1&AT=search&k=Kenji+Hosoishi&P=2&Display=0&filterS=0&QT=kenji,hosoishi&oref=article|access-date=2020-12-01|website=eresources.nlb.gov.sg}}

Professional career

Marsh's first professional tournament was in May 1968 at South Australian Open. He finished in solo third place. Peter Thomson, writing about the event for The Age, stated that "this talented player seems sure to finish higher before long."{{cite news|last=Thomson|first=Peter|date=27 May 1968|title='Quiet' End to SA Open|page=21|newspaper=The Age|location=Melbourne|url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/61710019/the-age/|via=Newspapers.com}} In 1970 he played well at New Zealand's Caltex Tournament. Entering the par-5 18th hole he was tied for the lead with Maurice Bembridge and Terry Kendall. However, he could only make par. His competitors played the hole under par to defeat him. Marsh finished in solo third at 287, one behind.{{Cite news|date=23 November 1970|title=Two tie in NZ|newspaper=The Age|location=Melbourne|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=Y9szAAAAIBAJ&sjid=sJADAAAAIBAJ&pg=2326,4510666|access-date=2020-02-12}}

Throughout the 1970s and 1980s Marsh was a regular winner on the European Tour, the Japan Golf Tour and the PGA Tour of Australasia. He also won several events in Asia outside Japan, winning the Asia Golf Circuit overall title in 1972 and 1973,{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article102211858 |title=Graham Marsh 1st |newspaper=The Canberra Times |location=Australian Capital Territory, Australia |date=24 April 1972 |access-date=20 February 2020 |page=13 |via=Trove}}{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article131699668 |title=Marsh Best in Asian Golf Circuit |newspaper=The Canberra Times |location=Australian Capital Territory, Australia |date=21 December 1973 |access-date=20 February 2020 |page=14 |via=Trove}} and one on the U.S.-based PGA Tour, the 1977 Heritage Classic. Marsh had an outstanding win rate on the European Tour, where he accumulated eleven titles even though he never played more than seven events in Europe in a season. He also won the Colgate World Match Play Championship, which was not an official money European Tour event at the time, in England in 1977. He had 56 wins in all in his regular career, making him one of the most successful players of his era not to win a major championship.

= Senior career =

As a senior, Marsh has played extensively in the United States on the Champions Tour winning six events including two senior majors: the 1997 U.S. Senior Open and the 1999 Tradition. He has also won the Japan Senior Open twice.

Marsh is also active in golf course design through Graham Marsh Golf Design which he established in 1986. The company's early projects were in Australia and Japan, but it later branched out to other parts of Asia, Europe and the United States. His work has included courses such as The Vines Resort (Perth), Palm Meadows Resort (Gold Coast) Old Silo (Kentucky), Twin Creeks Golf and Country Club (New South Wales) and Terrey Hills Golf & Country Club just to name a few. During this era, Marsh was also the chairman of the PGA Tour of Australasia as well.

In 2004, he became the first player on the four main golf tours (PGA Tour, European Tour, Champions Tour or the European Senior Tour) to ace the same hole twice in a tournament when he had a hole-in-one on No. 11 at Royal Portrush Golf Club during the 2004 Senior British Open Championship.{{cite news |url=https://www.espn.ph/golf/news/story?id=1845723 |title=Marsh calls historic feat 'freaky' |work=ESPN |agency=Associated Press |date=24 July 2004 |access-date=3 February 2023}}
