This Day in Golf History: April 18

On this date in 1993, one of the unheralded success stories on the senior tour, Tom Wargo, won the 54th Senior PGA Championship at PGA National. The more established Bruce Crampton charged home in Round 4 with a 66 to tie Wargo at 13 under par, but Wargo won a two-hole playoff. Wargo was from a small club in Centralia, Illinois, and didn’t have notable pro success until turning 50. In 1994 he would win the Senior Open for two major titles.
