This Day in Golf--Dec. 28

A pair of golfers with similar records are celebrating birthdays on this date. Hubert Green, the 1977 U.S. Open and 1985 PGA champion, was born in 1946 in Birmingham, Ala., and was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2007. He played in three Ryder Cups. German Martin Kaymer, born in 1984, will likely be in the Hall, too, since he won a PGA (2010), U.S. Open (2014), and has played on four Ryder Cup teams, including making the winning putt in 2012 for Europe. He also won the 2014 Players Championship.
