Arthur Jonathan Wall, Jr. (November 25, 1923 – October 31, 2001) was an American golfer. He was born in Honesdale, Pennsylvania. He attended Duke University, graduating in 1949 with a business degree. Wall won fourteen titles on the PGA Tour, including four in 1959. That year he was chosen as the PGA Player of the Year, and he also won the money title and Vardon Trophy for lowest scoring average. His most notable achievement was his victory in 1959 at the Masters Tournament. In the final round, he birdied five of his last six holes to shoot a 66 and overtake Cary Middlecoff and defending champion Arnold Palmer. Wall is also notable for an unbelievable 45 holes in one in his playing career (including casual rounds). Wall was a member of three United States Ryder Cup teams: 1957, 1959, and 1961.
