This Day in Golf--March 1

Standout lifelong amateur Ed Updegraff turns 96 on this date. Born in Boone, Iowa, Updegraff, a urologist by trade, did not win the U.S. Amateur, but he won several prominent events such as the Western Amateur twice and the U.S. Senior Amateur in 1981. A member of the Iowa and Arizona state golf halls of fame, his greatest honor was receiving the Bob Jones Award in 1999.
