This Day in Golf History: May 28

One of the LPGA Tour’s pioneers, Marlene Bauer Hagge, won the pleasant sounding Land of Sky Open on this date in 1958 in a playoff with JoAnn Prentice on the first hole of sudden death after the two had tied at three-under-par 213. Hagge’s sister Alice also was an LPGA Tour founder and died in 2002. Marlene just died on May 16 at age 89.
