This Day in Golf History: September 13

Continuing the recent Open Championship theme, a pair of Open Championships from the 1800s ended on this date. In 1866, at Prestwick, Willie Park, Sr., won for the third time, beating brother Davie Park by two shots. In 1872, also at Prestwick, Tom Morris, Jr., won for the fourth straight time, winning by three strokes over David Strath.
