Billy Casper Wins In Portland

4 Oct, 08 | Tags: Golf Central | On This Day In History

The Portland title was only one 51 Casper would amass on his way to becoming probably one of the most criminally under-rated golf figures of his day. Also on this day, in 1895, the very first US Open Championship was held, on a nine-hole layout in Newport, RI. It was won by the Isle of Wight’s very own Horace Rawlins, aged 21, over 36 holes on the same day.

Fred Couples was born, not wearing a golf glove, in Seattle, Washington on this day in 1959. To this day, not many people can swing a club or mangle a quote quite as beautifully as the son of Violet and Tom Coppola. The world’s No. 1 golfer for 16 weeks after winning the Masters in 1992, Fred Couples remains the undisputed king of golf’s Silly Season, counting 26 'other' victories among the 43 professional wins on his CV.
