Golf's past and present stars face modern scoring reality
The piece weighs whether 20 year ago greats like Jones, Hagen, Sarazen, and Mees Spaden could match today’s scores. It notes 1924 Walker win at Oakland Hills, 1937 Guldahl, 1942 Hogan Nelson playoff, and how steel, longer balls, and better greens push scores lower. It argues old pros might still compete if at peak, while today’s top players would have rivaled them decades ago.
