This Day in Golf History: August 11

On this date, the golf gods gave and they took away from Lee Trevino in the PGA Championship. In 1974, Trevino won the first of his two PGAs, at Tanglewood Park in North Carolina, winning a battle with defending champion Jack Nicklaus. Trevino won by a shot with a four-under-par total of 276. But in 1985 at Cherry Hills, Trevino finished two shots in back of Hubert Green.
