This Day in Golf History: August 28

A pair of U.S. Amateur championships ended on this date. In 1988, Eric Meeks defeated Danny Yates, 7 and 6, on the Cascades Course at the Virginia Hot Springs G. & T.C., Hot Springs, Va. And in 1994, Tiger Woods won by knocking off Trip Kuehne, 2 up, at TPC at Sawgrass (Stadium Course), Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla. Also, Lee Janzen, one of the most surprising of multiple major winners in golf history, was born on this date in 1964 in Austin, Minnesota. He won the 1993 and 1998 U.S. Open.
