This Day in Golf--Jan. 29

Today marks the 95th birthday of two-time major champion and World Golf Hall of Fame member Jack Burke Jr. He is roughly six months younger than Doug Ford, who was born on August 6, 1922, and is the oldest living winner of a major. With Roberto De Vicenzo's passing last year at age 94, the next oldest male major champion is Peter Thomson, age 88. The oldest-living woman major champion is Betsy Rawls, age 89.
