This Day in Golf History: July 14

A couple of U.S. Women's Opens ended on this date. In 1985, unheralded Kathy Baker won at Baltusrol Golf Club in New Jersey by three shots over Judy Clark, and in 1991, Meg Mallon won by two shots at hot Colonial Country Club in Ft. Worth. She finished two strokes ahead of Pat Bradley. And on this date in 1973, Tom Weiskopf won his only major, winning The Open Championship at Royal Troon by three shots over Johnny Miller and Neil Coles with a 12-under-par 276 score. Weiskopf was the first player since 1934 to lead the championship from wire to wire.
