This Day in Golf History--May 15

Ken Venturi was born on this date in 1931 in San Francisco. The World Golf Hall of Fame member won an inspirational U.S. Open in 1964, and is also well remembered for his TV analyst work on CBS. His career was at one time expected to be as dominant as Arnold Palmer’s but he had hand issues that curtailed his career. He died two days after his 82nd birthday in 2013.
