This Day in Golf--Aug. 4

“Lighthorse” Harry Cooper was born on this date in 1904 in Leatherhead, England. You may have heard him mentioned as one of the alltime “greatest players to never win a major.” That is true, but in his day, he won 31 tour events, including two Los Angeles opens, two Canadian opens, and the Western Open, all three of which were near major status. He was good enough to be elected to the World Golf Hall of Fame.
