    Question another wild flower to name

    saw these growing in a marshy field and was wondering what they are, anyone out there care to identify it? the flowers are on very tall stems with about 20 flowers per head and each floret was about 10 mm across but very pretty.

    If its profound what was the name of the golfer and what did he find?
