Feb. 9 Report: Fred Hawkins

Just a single update today, but one I'm happy with nevertheless. A little-known golfer who began playing the professional circuit in the 1940s, and continued playing on the Senior Tour through the early 1990s.

Fred Hawkins made the 1957 Ryder Cup team, and my instinct is he is likely America's oldest living Ryder Cup player. The 1956 Oklahoma City Open winner will turn 87 this year.

Definitely glad I was able to track him down and make this addition to my Ryder Cup autograph collection.

Day of the Year: 40
Number of Autographs This Year: 73
