This Day in Golf--Aug. 6

It’s hard to celebrate being the oldest at something when society/the business world seems to hold an age bias against the experienced set among us. But this is a pretty good “old” honor: Doug Ford turns 95 today; he ranks as the oldest living winner of a major championship. Ford, the winner of the 1955 PGA and 1957 Masters, is nearly six months older than the next oldest, Jack Burke, the 1956 Masters and PGA champion. Many happy returns to them both.
