This Day in Golf History: September 23

A pair of Open Championships ended on this date in the 1800s. In 1868, at Prestwick, Young Tom Morris won the ninth Open by three shots over his father, Tom Morris, Sr., at just age 17 when he shot 154. And in 1892, at Muirfield, Harold Hilton also won by three over John Ball, Hugh Kirkaldy and Sandy Herd.
