This Day in Golf--May 7

The Greenbrier is a major component of golf resort heritage in the U.S. The Greenbrier Classic on the PGA Tour, this year in early July, continues that history, which goes back decades ago when it was a cherished title that attracted star players and celebrities. On this date in 1950, Ben Hogan won the Greenbrier Pro-Am, at the golf club in White Sulphur Springs, W.Va., winning $1,250 after shooting 64-64-65-66—259.
