This Day in Golf History: August 25

This is the latest the PGA Championship finished in the month of August. The 1946 playing ended on this date with Ben Hogan winning the title, 6&4, over Ed (Porky) Oliver. This was Hogan's first of two PGAs he won. The championship was held at Portland (Ore.) Golf Club. This PGA was also notable for it being the last time Byron Nelson played in the major. He lost to Oliver in the quarterfinals and overall had a 37-8 record.
