This Day in Golf History: May 20

The 37th Open Championship ended on this date in 1897 with English amateur Harold Hilton winning for the second time, by one shot over Scotland’s James Braid, at Royal Liverpool Golf Club. On this date in 1962, the great Patty Berg won the Muskogee Civitan Open on the Muskogee C.C. in Oklahoma. She shot four under par for the tournament to win by two shots over Shirley Englehorn and Ruth Jessen. It was the 57th and final tour victory in Berg’s marvelous career.
