This Day in Golf History: July 27

Jordan Spieth, the not-so-splendid wunderkind of golf, was born on this date in 1993 in Dallas, Texas. He won the U.S. Open and Masters in 2015, was second in the PGA that year, and won the 2017 Open Championship but hasn’t won a major since then. He has 13 PGA Tour victories in all but nothing since April 2022. Also, the 1954 PGA Championship, the 36th playing, ended on this date when Chick Harbert beat Walter Burkemo, 4 and 3, at Keller Golf Club in St. Paul, Minnesota.
