This Day in Golf--Sept. 29

While a premier golf event, the Presidents Cup, plays out on the edge of New York harbor this week, on this date it is noted a premier golf event ended on Sept. 29, 1923, in the New York City area. In a 36-hole final between legends Gene Sarazen and Walter Hagen in the PGA Championship at Pelham Golf Club, Sarazen won in 38 holes, for the second consecutive year at just age 21. He ended it with a birdie after hitting an incredible shot out of heavy rough. The Squire won a third PGA 10 years later in 1933.
