This Day in Golf--April 12

In a battle of all-time legends, Sam Snead defeated Ben Hogan, 70-71, in a playoff to win the 1954 Masters, his third. A decade later, the date April 12, 1964, would mark the day Arnold Palmer won his final and seventh major, by six shots, in the Masters. PGA Tour player Russell Henley was born on this day in 1989.
