This Day in Golf History: September 27

On this day in 1930, golfer Bobby Jones completed his revered Grand Slam of winning four major championships in the same year. The four were the U.S. Open, The Open, and U.S. Amateur and The Amateur Championship. Jones was the first and only golfer in history to win the four big events of his time in the same calendar year. On this date he beat Gene Homans, 8 and 7, at the U.S. Amateur at Merion.
