This Day in Golf History: February 1

This is the date that's noted in 1922 that the USGA established the U.S. Amateur Public Links Championship. The first event was held in July 1922 at Ottawa Park Golf Course in Toledo, Ohio, won by Edmund R. Held. The event was discontinued after the 2014 playing. Also on this date in 1959, the 20th Senior PGA Championship finished at PGA National Golf Club in Dunedin, Florida, with winner Willie Goggin, using a borrowed set of woods, to win by one shot over Denny Shute, Leland Gibson and Paul Runyan. Both Shute and Runyan were two-time winners of the regular PGA Championship.
