This Day in Golf History: November 22

The 1936 PGA Championship ended on this date with Denny Shute winning his first of two consecutive PGAs. He defeated long-hitting Jimmy Thomson, 3 and 2, at Pinehurst Country Club’s No. 2 Course.. Being outdriven by as much as 60 yards, Shute used his short-game guile and strong iron play to take down Thomson.
