This Day in Golf--May 28

Yesterday’s birthday figure, Sam Snead, makes the date entry today, too, for winning the Colonial National Invitation on this date in 1950. Yesterday Justin Rose was crowned champion of that event, now called the Fort Worth Invitational. In 1950, it was a second straight tour win for Snead; he won the Western Open on May 21. His combined take-home pay for the wins: $5,600.
