This Day in Golf History--March 14

On this date in 1929, Bob Goalby was born in Belleville, Illinois, east of St. Louis in southern Illinois. The uncle of Jay Haas, Goalby won 12 times on tour, most notably the 1968 Masters in the infamous disqualification of Roberto De Vicenzo. At 90, Goalby is not the oldest former winner of a major; that title belongs to 96-year-old Jack Burke Jr.
