This Day in Golf--Nov. 18

Depending on the source, British amateur great Joyce Wethered, who was celebrated in yesterday's This Day in Golf for being born on Nov. 17, 1901, died in 1997 either on Nov. 17 or Nov. 18. The New York Times says it was the 18th. Either way she died at age 96, and the consecutive-day start and finish to her life allows another day of remarking on her supreme prowess as a player, which included a few battles with American star Glenna Collett. Wethered's brother, Roger, was an accomplished player who was runner-up in the 1921 Open Championship.
