This Day in Golf History: August 1

Lloyd Mangrum, the Hall of Fame golfer with the look of a stereotypical riverboat gambler, was born on this date in 1914 in Trenton, Texas. The World War II veteran had one major victory at the 1946 U.S. Open and also played in four Ryder Cups and won the Vardon Trophy twice.
