This Day in Golf History: August 11

The 2013, 1996, 1991, 1986, 1985 and 1974 PGA Championships all ended on August 11 of their year, won by, in order, Jason Dufner, Mark Brooks, John Daly, Bob Tway, Hubert Green and Lee Trevino. Of the five, Daly was the most obscure and unexpected, barely, only getting into the field at the last moment and completely shocking the golf world with his prodigious drives and composure. Trevino had both a good and bad result. In 1985 at Cherry Hills Country Club, Green beat Trevino by two shots, but in 1974 at Tanglewood Park in North Carolina, Trevino won by one stroke over Jack Nicklaus.
