This Day in Golf--Sept. 4

Two major champions who developed their legendary status in the hardscrabble days of small purses and ever-present hall-of-fame-caliber golfers celebrate birthdays on this date. Raymond Floyd turns 75 while Tom Watson is 68. The World Golf Hall of Fame members played high quality golf into their twilight years but also share the disappointment that they were one major shy of a lifetime Grand Slam. Watson never won the PGA while Floyd never captured The Open Championship.
