1997 – Davis Love wins at Winged Foot

The ingredients were all there for a cinematic gem. The son of a legendary PGA pro, a career of missed major opportunities, one of America’s great tests, brother on the bag and, wait, a rainbow at the end? That’s Love’s 11-under win at Winged Foot in a nutshell, capped off with a final-round 66 and last hole birdie framed by a rainbow. Love had been 0-for-38 in majors. The only other PGA champion at the time whose father was a golf pro was Dave Marr. In 2017 Justin Thomas became the third, with his father present for his win at Quail Hollow.
