This Day in Golf History: February 13

It was 106 years ago on this date that one of the greatest golfers, and one of the game's greatest ambassadors, was born in Minneapolis. Patty Berg, who played tough football in her neighborhood growing up with the likes of Bud Wilkinson, became a golf superstar and was a popular draw in the early days of the LPGA Tour. She had a great catchphrase at her clinics, where she would make a flamboyant follow-through and urge the attendees to "swing to the finish.” The World Golf Hall of Fame player won 15 major titles.
