August 21, 1914 – There were some truly legendary golfers with some truly epic tournament runs in the early Twentieth-Century. The 1914 US Open Men’s Golf at the Midlothian Country Club was one of these.
At that event a 21-year old Walter Hagen outlasted amateur Chick Evans to win by 1 stroke. This got the ball rolling, literally for Walter. This was the first of Hagen’s two Open titles as well as the first of 11 major championships.
