This Day in Golf History: May 30

Counting Walter Hagen’s four in a row and Jim Barnes winning two in a row with two off years in the middle, winning the PGA consecutively has happened nine times. That includes Brooks Koepka in 2018-2019. On today’s date in 1937, Denny Shute won his second in a row, at the Pittsburgh Field Club, defeating Harold McSpaden in 37 holes. Shute had won the previous year at Pinehurst, 3 and 2 over Jimmy Thomson.
