This Day in Golf History: May 24

Old Tom Morris, one of the most iconic Scottish figures in golf history, died on this date in 1908, three weeks shy of 87. Symbolic of St. Andrews, Old Tom was adorned with a distinguished long gray beard late in life. He won the Open Championship four times but was also a course designer, clubmaker and greenkeeper. And on this date in 1910, World Golf Hall of Fame member Jimmy Demaret, a three-time Masters winner, was born in Houston, Texas.
