This Day in Golf--Aug. 5

World Golf Hall of Fame member Chick Evans was one of the greatest amateurs in history, never more-so than in his adopted home of Chicago. He won the Chicago City Amateur four times, the first in 1907 as a teenager, and the last on this date in 1944 when he was 54 years old! On the national stage, he was the first player to win the U.S. Open and U.S. Amateur in the same year, 1916.
