This Day in Golf History: August 3

Sam Snead, the ageless one who played the greatest golf the latest in life, was 67 years, 2 months and 7 days when he set the record on this date in the 1979 PGA Championship at Oakland Hills Country Club to be the oldest player to make the cut in a major. Snead had won the PGA in 1942, 1949 and 1951.
