This Day in Golf History: August 11

The PGA Championship had several memorable winners on this date. John Daly burst onto the scene in 1991 and Bob Tway holed out from a bunker on the final hole in 1986 to beat Greg Norman at Inverness. But Lee Trevino also had a pair of results, one good and one bad. In 1985 at Cherry Hills Country Club, Hubert Green beat Trevino by two shots, but in 1974 at Tanglewood Park in North Carolina, Trevino won by one stroke over Jack Nicklaus. The 2013 and 1996 PGA Championships all ended on August 11 of their year, won by, in order, Jason Dufner and Mark Brooks. Of the five PGA winners, Daly was the most obscure and unexpected, only getting into the field at the last moment and completely shocking the golf world with his prodigious drives and composure.
