This Day in Golf History: May 10

One of the most flamboyant figures in golf history is in today's item. Walter Hagen won his fourth Open Championship, and 11th and final major championship, on May 10, 1929, at Muirfield, Scotland. His winning score was 12 over par, and that won by six shots! Known for his outsized personality and colorful wardrobe, Hagen is in the World Golf Hall of Fame.
