This Day in Golf History: September 7

It was five years ago already on this date that Dustin Johnson won the Tour Championship at East Lake Golf Club by three shots over Justin Thomas and Xander Schauffele for a FedEx Cup victory. And on this date in Palmer History, the Chrysler Cup ended in 1986 on the TPC at Avenel Course in Potomac, Maryland, with the Palmer-captained U.S. team beating the Internationals, 68.5 to 31.5. It was a Ryder-Cup style event involving senior tour players. It was during this inaugural event that Arnold aced the 187-yard No. 3 hole two days in a row using the same 5-iron in practice rounds.
