This Day in Golf History: May 28

Yesterday’s birthday figure, Sam Snead, makes the date entry today, too, for winning the Colonial National Invitation on this date in 1950. It was a second straight tour win for Snead; he won the Western Open on May 21. His combined take-home pay for the wins: $5,600. Also, Julius Boros died on this date in 1994, having won three majors: PGA in 1968, U.S. Open in 1952 and 1963); he died at age 74 of a heart attack.
