This Day in Golf History: March 3

One of the most laconic but powerful swingers of the golf club, Julius Boros, was born on this date in 1920 in Fairfield, Connecticut. A member of the World Golf Hall of Fame, Boros was nicknamed Moose at 6-foot, 215 pounds. He won three majors, two U.S. Opens and the PGA, and two of the three came at the expense of Arnold Palmer, who Boros would sometimes call "his pigeon." Boros beat Palmer in the 1963 U.S. Open playoff and then nipped him again in the 1968 PGA to keep Arnie shut out in that major.
