This Day in Golf History: January 6

Today is the 105th birthday anniversary for Cary (Doc) Middlecoff, the three-time major champion who was born in Halls, Tennessee. And two of America’s other accomplished golfers were born on this date. In 1957, Nancy Lopez was born in Torrance, California; she won 48 LPGA Tour titles, and in 1960, Paul Azinger, the 1993 PGA Champion, was born in Holyoke, Massachusetts.
