This Day in PGA Ch. Golf--Aug. 10

Like Larry Nelson in yesterday's entry, today's date in PGA history was doubly kind to Jack Nicklaus. He won the 1975 and 1980 PGAs on Aug. 10 each year. In '75, it was Jack on top at Firestone Country Club, where he led by four after Round 3 and was 2 shots up on Bruce Crampton at the end. In 1980, Nicklaus was a bigger winner, at Oak Hill. Up by three heading into the last round, he shot 69, finished six under, and won by seven, the only player under par for the week. Other Aug. 10 PGA finishes include years 1986, 2008 and 2014.
