This Day in Golf--March 21

The first Players Championship held at the TPC Stadium Course concluded 35 years ago on March 21, 1982. Jerry Pate won by two shots with a final-round, five-under 67 and then christened the event during the award ceremony by tossing both Commissioner Deane Beman and course architect Pete Dye into the lake alongside the 18th hole and jumping in himself.

Jerry Pate dives into the 18th-hole lake with Dye and Beman already in it.
