On this day in 1976, David Graham won the American Golf Classic by four strokes over namesake Lou Graham. Anthony David Graham was born in 1946, in Windsor, Australia and turned professional in 1962.

Before joining the Champions Tour in 1996, Graham won 8 times on the PGA Tour, won the 1979 PGA Championship, the 1981 U.S Open and the 1976 Piccadilly World Matchplay Championship.

Elsewhere in the world of golf, on this day in 1901, the USGA produced a list of 13 ways in which a golfer can forfeit amateur status, including caddying from age 15 and older and playing professionally in any other sport. Nice to know...
 
Meanwhile, in 1882, The Ashes test series was born when The Sporting Times printed a mock obituary for English cricket after England were beaten at home by Australia for the first time. Since then English cricket has died several hundred times over.

It's Akkineni Nagarjuna! as they say in Japan to  the excellently-named ex-PGA Tour nobody Barry Cheesman (49), 'comic' Lenny Henry (50) and former King of Pop, Michael Jackson, also 50.
