Armidale, Australia
. He turned pro in 1961 and joined the

On the Senior PGA Tour, Devlin won one tournament, the 1995

. At the end of the 1998 golf season, Devlin decided to retire from the Senior PGA Tour to concentrate on his Golf Course Architecture and Design business and his commitment to ESPN's Golf Telecasts.
The main focus of Devlin's career in the past 30 years has been his work as a Golf Course Architect and Designer. Devlin has designed and built more than 150 golf courses throughout the world including Australia, Japan,
Scotland
, the
Bahamas
, and the United States. About two-thirds of the golf courses he designed have been in Florida and

ESPN
from 1983 to 1987; and since 1999 has occasionally covered professional golf for ESPN.
At the 72nd hole of the 1975
Andy Williams-San Diego Open Invitational
, Devlin shot a 10 after hitting multiple shots into the water in front of the 18th green of the
Torrey Pines South Course
. The pond was thereafter nicknamed "Devlin’s Billabong".
Devlin is one of only four golfers to have scored a
double eagle
(three-under-par) at the
Masters Tournament
. He achieved this in the first round of the 1967 Masters, holing a 4-wood from 248 yards on the par-5 8th hole.
