This Day in Golf History: April 26

Using a new putter, Patty Berg shot a 64 in the first round of the 1952 Richmond (Calif.) Open at Richmond Golf Club, to set a women’s record. She would go on to win the tournament by four shots. The 18-hole record now, of course, is the 59 shot by Annika Sorenstam in 2001.
