This Day in PGA Ch. Golf--Aug. 13

The great Eugenio Saraceni, aka Gene Sarazen, won the 1933 PGA Championship on this date. He beat Willie Goggin, 5 and 4, in the final at Blue Mound Country Club in Wauwatosa, Wis. It was The Squire's third PGA and sixth of seven majors in his career. Other PGAs to finish on Aug. 13 were in 1989, 1995 and, of course, today in 2017.
