This Day in Golf History: January 16

On this date in 1938, at Augusta Country Club, adjacent to Augusta National, the LPGA Titleholders Championship was won by Patty Berg by 14 strokes. And on this date in 1979, golfer Jimmy Walker was born in Oklahoma City. He has won six times on tour, most notably in the 2016 PGA Championship at Baltusrol in a battle with Jason Day. He is also a talented photographer of celestial skies and rents space on a telescope.
