This Day in Golf History: June 23

The astounding William Lawson Little, Jr. was born on this date in 1910 in Newport. A member of the World Golf Hall of Fame, he won the U.S. Amateur and (British) Amateur Championship in 1934 and 1935, and later in 1940 won the U.S. Open. His tendency to use as many as 25 or more clubs in his bag was one of the reasons the USGA limited the number of clubs a golfer could have in a set to 14.
