Walter Hagen on first seeing Harry Vardon

Walter Hagen on Harry Vardon: “I first saw Vardon at Brookline during practice rounds for the 1913 Open...The groove in his swing was so obvious you could almost see it. I was so impressed with his swing that during the last round, when my swing started to leave me, I started imitating his. And it worked, too. Fact is, I almost caught him with his own swing.”
