This Day in Golf History: May 24

Two UK stars of yesteryear died on this date, May 24. Old Tom Morris, four-time Open champion and iconic St. Andrews figure, died in 1908 at age 86. And Englishman Jim Barnes died in 1966 at 80. He won four majors, including the first PGA in 1916, and like Morris is a member of the World Golf Hall of Fame.
