This Day in Golf History: August 9

The 104th playing of the PGA Championship was held in May in Southern Hills in Tulsa. The first time in its history that the PGA began on an August 9 was in 1973 at another Midwest spot, Canterbury Golf Club in Cleveland. It ended in a milestone result: Jack Nicklaus won by four shots, and it was his 14th major, moving him ahead of Bobby Jones' total, which had been the record for 43 years.
