This Day in Golf History--June 27

This date is loaded with Walter Hagen moments. In 1924, he won his second of four Open Championships, by one stroke over Ernest Whitcombe at Royal Liverpool. In 1931, Hagen captained the U.S. team to a 9-3 victory in the Ryder Cup at Scioto Country Club, for a second captain win. And in 1933 he was captain at Southport when the Americans lost by a 6.5 to 5.5 count.
