This Day in Golf History: September 28

The 1921 PGA Championship was played from September 26 to October 1 at Inwood Country Club at Far Rockaway, New York, and won by Walter Hagen for the third time. He beat two-time champion Jim Barnes, 3 and 2, in the final. And a pair of Ryder Cup matches ended on this date. In 1997 at Valderrama Golf Club in Spain, Europe won 14½-13½ for the first of seven straight victories at home by the Europeans. And in one of those victories in 2014, at Gleneagles in Scotland, Europe won 16½-11½.
