This Day in Golf History: January 28

On this date in 1968, Chandler Harper—one of the greatest monikers in golf—won the 29th Senior PGA Championship by four shots over Sam Snead at PGA National Golf Club in Palm Beach  Gardens, Florida. Harper, of Portsmouth, Virginia, had won the 1950 PGA Championship. His Senior PGA victory was worth $4,000, which was $500 more than he won for the PGA!
