This Day in Golf History: September 4

Jay Sigel won the 1983 U.S. Amateur Championship on this date at North Shore Country Club, by an 8&7 score over Chris Perry, to give him two consecutive Amateur titles. He had also won 8&7 the previous year over David Tolley at The Country Club. Also, two American golf stars, both in the World Golf Hall of Fame, were born on this date. In 1942, Raymond Floyd, a four-time major winner, was born in Fort Bragg, North Carolina. And in 1949, eight-time major champion Tom Watson was born in Kansas City, Missouri.
