This Day in PGA Ch. Golf--Aug. 11

One of Lee Trevino's greatest moments was on this date in 1974 at the PGA held at Tanglewood Park in Clemmons, N.C. He won with a 4-under-par score, edging Jack Nicklaus by a shot to once again foil the Golden Bear at a major as he had done at the U.S. Open and Open Championship already in his career. Trevino took a one-shot lead after Round 3, and both he and Jack matched 69s in the final round. Other Aug. 11 PGA conclusions came in 1985 (Hubert Green edged Trevino by 2 in that one), 1991, 1996 and 2013.
