This Day in Golf--Oct. 25

Herman Densmore Shute, better known as Denny, was born in Cleveland on this date in 1904, two years after Bobby Jones and Gene Sarazen were born. Shute won 16 PGA Tour events, but held his own in the majors at a time when Snead, Hogan and Nelson were coming along. Shute won the 1933 Open Championship and went back to back in the PGA in 1936 and 1937. He was elected to the World Golf Hall of Fame in 2008.
