Kel Nagle (born December 21, 1920 in North Sydney,
New South Wales|North Sydney) is an
Australia|Australian golfer best known for winning
the United Kingdom|British The Open
Championship|Open Championship in 1960.

Although he had won some tournaments in Australia,
and had won the World Cup of Golf for Australia in
partnership with five times British Open champion
Peter Thomson in 1954 and 1959, Nagle was a shock
winner of The Open, as he was 39 years old but had
never finished in the top ten at a major
championship before. He beat the rising star of
American golf Arnold Palmer into second place, and
it was Palmer who deprived him of his title in
1961. Nagle never regained The Open title, but he
put together a string of six further top ten
finishes between 1961 and 1969. His best result in
a United States major was second in the 1965 U.S.
Open Championship (golf)|US Open, the year after
he won the Canadian Open.
