This Day in Golf History: January 28

One of the most incredible performances that is also one of the least well-known ended on this date in 1973. Sam Snead finished a 20-under-par 268 total on the East Course at PGA National to win the Senior PGA Championship by an astounding 15 shots over Julius Boros. It was also the last of Sam's record six Senior PGAs and it still stands as the record winning margin. Also, Henry Cotton, a three-time winner of the Open Championship who had a variety of interests and was a regular author, was born on this date in 1907 at Holmes Chapel, Cheshire, England.
