This Day in Golf History: April 22

Just three days after the third PGA Tour commissioner in history, Tim Finchem, celebrated a birthday, the second commissioner, Deane Beman, observes a birthday, born on this day in 1938 in Washington, D.C.. Before becoming the head of the tour in 1974, Beman was an accomplished player, winning the U.S. Amateur twice, British Amateur in 1959, and four PGA Tour events. He served until 1994 and was later inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame.
