Bernhard Langer, who won two Masters in his prime despite being plagued by the yips, was born on this date in 1957 in Anhausen, Germany. Langer had a second life with the long putter and has continued to excel at age 67 on the senior tour. On this date in 1995, the Canadian du Maurier Classic was won by Jenny Lidback at Beaconsfield Golf Club in Pointe-Claire, Quebec, with an eight-under-par total of 280.
