This Day in Golf History: May 28

Yesterday’s birthday figure, Sam Snead, makes the date entry today, too, for winning the Colonial National Invitation on this date in 1950. This weekend the Colonial is being held under its new moniker and sponsorship, the Charles Schwab Challenge. In 1950, it was a second straight tour win for Snead; he won the Western Open on May 21. His combined take-home pay for the wins: $5,600.
