This Day in Golf History: January 22

On this day in 1978, Tom Watson and Ray Floyd tied for the third-round lead on a Sunday at the Bing Crosby Pro-Am, the first one held after his death. The tournament was pushed back a day because of heavy rain on Thursday. On the 23rd Watson would win in a sudden-death playoff with Ben Crenshaw.
