This Day in Golf History: February 1

On this date in 1959, Willie Goggin won the 20th PGA Seniors Championship at PGA National GC in Dunedin, Florida. Goggin shot four-under 284 and won going against common practice. He wasn’t comfortable with the set of clubs he brought from California, mainly the woods, so he borrowed another set of woods and still won. Three players tied for second behind him by one shot: Leland Gibson, Paul Runyan and Denny Shute.
