This Day in Golf History: July 30

With Padraig Harrington the recent winner of the Senior Open Championship, today we note a couple related milestones. On this date in 2006, the Senior Open Ch. was won by American Loren Roberts in a playoff at Turnberry over Eduardo Romero of Argentina. Roberts’ nickname is The Boss of the Moss for his putting expertise. And one of the great characters in golf, Scotland’s Brian Barnes, won the 1995 Senior Open Championship on this date at Royal Portrush Golf Club in a playoff over American Bob Murphy.
