This Day in Golf History: March 28

Five times a PGA Tour event has been decided after an eight-hole, sudden-death playoff. (Cary Middlecoff and Lloyd Mangrum played 11 holes for the 1949 Motor City Open but were stopped by darkness and declared co-champions.) The first of the eight occasions was on March 28, 1965, when Dick Hart beat Phil Rodgers at the Azalea Open.
