This Day in Golf History--May 9

On this date in 1870, Harry Vardon, the only six-time Open Championship winner, was born in Jersey, UK. In a wonderful coincidence, he was born on a May day one day after Francis Ouimet was born in 1893, the golfer he would be connected with in the historic 1913 U.S. Open playoff at The Country Club. Vardon won the 1900 U.S. Open during a tour of America.
