This Day in Golf History: February 20

One of the more obscure major golf champions but boasting a cute nickname was born on this date in 1915. Melvin (Chick) Harbert was born in Dayton, Ohio. He won seven times on the PGA Tour but the PGA Championship was his specialty. He won it in 1954 and was also a two-time runner-up, in 1947 and 1952. The event was competed as match play those years. Harbert was 24-10 in the PGA match play from 1946 to 1957.
