This Day in Golf History: January 9

The Spanish boy wonder, Sergio Garcia, was born on this date in 1980, making him the ripe age of 44. At one time seen as a surefire multiple major winner, it took until 2017 for Garcia to break through and win a major at the Masters. He’s now part of the LIV golf tour. And I would be remiss if I, as a Packer fan, did not make note that today is also the birthday of the great Bart Starr, the Packers' iconic quarterback during the Vince Lombardi Era. Starr was born 90 years ago in Montgomery, Alabama; he died in 2019. Go Pack Go!
