This Day in Golf History: February 27

One of the transcending figures in golf, Gene Sarazen, was born on this date in 1902, a little less than a month from when Bobby Jones was born on St. Patrick's Day 1902. Sarazen, known as the Squire and the first to win the career Grand Slam, lived into the Tiger Woods years and died on May 13, 1999, age 97.
