Even so, going into the final hole, he was still two under par for the tournament, tied with Billy Casper and barely two strokes behind his playing partner, Dave Marr, a journeyman golfer who had not won a tournament since 1962.

Banks was the 64th fighter to die of ring injuries in the last five years...
