This Day in Golf--Oct. 1

The Presidents Cup concludes today in the New York City area with the one-on-one spectacle of Sunday Singles. The Internationals need to go an unfathomable 12-0 to win. On this date in 1921, a match-play legend, Walter Hagen, won the PGA Championship, 3&2, in the 36-hole final versus two-time champion Jim Barnes. They played in the NYC area at Inwood Country Club near Kennedy International Airport. It was the first of Hagen's record five PGA victories.
