1948 GGO Champion Lloyd Mangrum
On November 17th, 1973, Lloyd Mangrum, 1948 Greater Greensboro Open champion, died at age 59. Mangrum was at the Invasion of Normandy and found golf easy compared to war.
"I don't suppose that any of the pro and amateur golfers who were combat soldiers, Marines or sailors will soon be able to think of a three-putt green as one of the really bad troubles in life."
–Lloyd Manrum
