This Day in Golf--July 29

The amazing Paul Runyan won the 1934 PGA Championship on this date at Park Club of Buffalo in Williamsville, N.Y. He beat Craig Wood in 38 thrilling holes. The diminutive Runyan was a wizard around the greens and got up and down for a par to win. He would win in 1938 against another taller opponent, Sam Snead, but this time it was a rout, 8 and 7.
