This Day in Golf--April 26

Patty Berg shot a 64 in the first round of the Richmond (Calif.) Open at Richmond Golf Club to set a women’s record. She would go on to win the tournament by four shots. The 18-hole record now, of course, is the 59 shot by Annika Sorenstam in 2001. Birthdays of note: J.B. Holmes born in 1982 and Mac O’Grady in 1951.

Patty Berg is elated after shooting a 64 in 1952.
