This Day in Golf--Aug. 27

The greatest amateur in golf history has a 90th anniversary today. On this date in 1927 Bobby Jones won the U.S. Amateur at the Minikahda Club in Minneapolis. He defeated another elite player of the day, Charles (Chick) Evans, quite handily, 8 and 7, in the final. It was Jones' third U.S. Am title; his fifth and final came in 1930 during his legendary Grand Slam year.
