This Day in Golf History: August 15

The earliest year the PGA Championship ended on an August 15 took place in 1965. Dave Marr won by two shots over Billy Casper and Jack Nicklaus at Laurel Valley in western Pennsylvania. Because this was in Palmer country at the height of his power, many thought this was his year to finally finish off the career Grand Slam. Instead he tied for 33rd and never once broke par in four rounds.
