This Day in Golf--Dec. 25

The event on this date is one of the most infamous in golf history. Young Tom Morris, the great Open Championship winner and son of Old Tom, died on Christmas Day in 1875 at just age 24. The four-time Open winner died three months after the death of his wife and newborn child.
