This Day in Golf--Oct. 23

World Golf Hall of Fame member Chi Chi Rodriguez celebrates his 82nd birthday today. Born in Rio Piedras, Puerto Rico, Rodriguez' given name is Juan, but he got the nickname Chi Chi because he loved baseball and picked up on the name of local star Chi Chi Flores. One of the game's legendary showmen, Rodriguez won eight times on the PGA Tour, and 22 senior events from 1986 to 1993, plus two senior majors.
