Jack Burke Jr in action.

Two-time major winner Jack Burke Jr has died at the age of 100, the United States Golf Association (USGA) has announced.

The American staged the biggest final-round fightback in Masters history when he triumphed from being eight strokes adrift in 1956, the year he also won the US PGA Championship.

Burke, who had been the oldest living Masters champion, is regarded as one of the best golfers of the 1950s.

The last of his 16 PGA Tour wins came in 1963.

Texas-born Burke also had a 7-1 record in his five Ryder Cup starts, captaining a US team that included Jack Nicklaus, Lee Trevino, Arnold Palmer and Billy Casper to victory over Great Britain and Ireland in 1973.
