This Day in Golf History: July 29

On this day in 1934, Little Poison, aka Paul Runyan, defeated Craig Wood, 1 up, in the final of the PGA Championship at the Park Club of Buffalo, New York. Runyan was diminutive in size but made up for a lack of length with a dynamite short game and pinpoint fairway woods. He would take down the mighty Sam Snead four years later.
