Snead and son, 1956
On this day, in 1945, Sam Snead won the Dallas Open, his fifth of six victories that season.
Samuel Jackson Snead was born in 1912 in Virginia and is recognised by many as one of the greatest golfers ever. He won a staggering 82 PGA Tour events, a record, was the first player ever to shoot his age (67) in the 1979 Quad Cities Open and is also the oldest ever winner of a PGA tour event, at 52 years and 10 months. Snead clocked up seven majors on his way to being inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame and won the PGA Tour Lifetime Achievement Award in 1998.
Also on this day, in 1947, the first ever computer bug was discovered as a moth lodged itself in the relay of the Harvard Mark II computer at Harvard University.
Meanwhile, in 1994, Sachin Tendulkar scored the first of his many ODI centuries in a match against Australia in Sri Lanka.
And it's Flavius Honorius! As they said in ancient Rome, to; Rod Stewart's ex, Rachel Hunter, (38), shouty comic actor, Adam Sandler (41) and fop, Hugh Grant (47). It would also have been Otis Redding's 66th birthday had his plane not crashed in 1967.
