This Day in Golf--Oct. 14

Yesterday's Day in Golf put the spotlight on an inaugural event in amateur golf. Today's date does the same for a pro event. On this date in 1916, the first PGA Championship ended at Siwanoy Country Club in Bronxville, N.Y., with "Long Jim" Barnes of England beating Scotland's Jock Hutchison, 1 up. The PGA wasn't played again for three years due to World War I.
