1945 – Byron Nelson’s streak continues at Moraine CC

In his epic 11-tournament winning season, Nelson met former Yankees outfielder Sam Byrd in the finals. Nelson had seven wins at this point and seemed a shoo-in, given he reached the finals of the PGA Championship for the fifth time. Byrd closed the morning session 2 up and continued strong play early before Nelson squared the match at the 26th hole. A 4-and-3 win was overshadowed by Nelson’s streak and astounding play at Moraine: He was 37-under-par over 204 holes played.
