It was a great day for the Open on this day in 1910, when it celebrated its Golden Jubilee (is that 50 years?- Ed) at St. Andrews. The first event was held at Prestwick in 1860, where eight players challenged for the title over three rounds on a 12-hole course, where Willie Park, Snr. walked away victorious with a score of 174.
Indeed, Park won the Claret Jug an impressive four times, a record that was broken by the legendary James Braid at St. Andrews on the day that the tournament celebrated its 50 year aniversary.
Just a year earlier over the pond at New Jersey's Englewood Golf Club, David Hunter carded the first sub-70 round in U.S. Open history with a 68 in the first morning round, before collapsing with a second-round 84 in the sweltering afternoon heat.
It was on this day in 1955 that Loren Roberts was born in California. Roberts' nickname was "The Boss Of The Moss" due to his excellent putting abilities, and his six PGA Tour victories all came after he was aged 38. Better late than never, I guess...
On this day in 1314, 10 miles south of Stirling, Scotland, the Kingdom Of England were defeated in the Battle of Bannockburn. It kicked off over a pact between Edward Bruce and Sir Phillip Mowbray over the occupation of Stirling Castle. The first day of battle was highlighted by King Robert the Bruce splitting Sir Henry de Bouhn's head in half with an axe, and this became the battle in a microcosm.
Although outnumbered by three to one, the Scots were far more mobile, forcing the English back on this day, and winning the battle (and the First War of Scottish Independence to boot) by slaying 11,000 English infantrymen.
So join us in a cry of Selamat ulang tahun as they do in Indonesia to 51 time PGA Tour winner, Billy Casper (1931), Fleetwood Mac's drummer Mick Fleetwood (1947), Dire Strait's bassist John Illsey (1949,), ice hockey great Uwe Krupp (1965) and Argentine football sensation, Lionel Messi (1987).
