This Day in Golf History: August 13

On this date in 1933, Gene Sarazen put down claims his game was slipping by winning the PGA Championship at age 32 at Blue Mound Country Club in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin. He beat Willie Goggin, 5 and 4, in the final, culminating a week where his closest of five matches was a 4-and-3 victory over Harry Cooper in the second round.
