This Day in Golf History: April 27

Legendary 36-year Chicago Tribune golf editor Charlie Bartlett was born on this date in 1905. He died on November 6, 1967, and at the next Masters, the Charles Bartlett Lounge was dedicated on April 10, 1968, in the now eliminated press building to honor him. The new media center has the Bartlett Lounge dining area. On this date in 1929, the Ryder Cup Match was played in cold and snow as the Great Britain team beat the United States, 7-5, at Moortown Golf Club.
