This Day in Golf--Sept. 2

Byron Nelson won two PGA Championships, the first coming on this date in 1940 when he played a memorable 36-hole final against Sam Snead, winning 1 up. The tournament was played at Hershey Country Club and at the time Nelson was playing out of the Inverness Club in Toledo, Ohio.
