This Day in Golf History: December 4

On this date in 1988, Amy Benz and John Huston won the JCPenney Golf Classic at Bardmoor Golf Club in Largo, Florida. They shot 21 under par to beat Martha Nause and Larry Mize by two shots. Also, one of those golfers who nearly did something memorable in a major was born on this date in 1956 in Bergamo, Italy. Costantino Rocca, who was the runner-up in the 1995 Open Championship, losing in a playoff to John Daly at St. Andrews, was born on this date.
