This Day in Golf--Nov. 7

Charles (Chick) Evans was the first of two men to win the U.S. Amateur and the U.S. Open in the same year, which he did in 1916. Bobby Jones won them both in 1930. Evans, who died on this date in 1979 at age 89, won the Western Amateur six times, the Western Open once, and the U.S. Amateur again in 1920. A member of the World Golf Hall of Fame, Evans has the enduring legacy of the Evans Scholarship Foundation, which helps caddies attend college.
