This Day in Golf History: September 14

Today’s date in 1868 is usually credited as the day when golf's first recorded hole-in-one was made by Young Tom Morris on Prestwick's eighth hole. And on this date in 1865, the Open Championship was won by Andrew Strath of Scotland, who won over two-time champion Willie Park, Sr., by two shots.
