This Day in Golf History--May 27

The remarkable Sam Snead was born on this date in 1912, the same year that ushered in Byron Nelson and Ben Hogan. Snead won seven majors and the most PGA Tour victories with 82, tied last year by Tiger Woods. Snead died in 2002 just four days short of his 90th birthday.
