This Day in Golf--Jan. 6

A trio of memorable players was born on this date: 12-time tour winner and 1993 PGA champion Paul Azinger in 1960; Dr. Cary Middlecoff, a three-time major winner, born in 1921, and Nancy Lopez, born in 1957. Lopez won nearly 50 tour events, with three majors. Like Phil Mickelson, she was snakebit in the National Open. She finished runner-up four times.
