On This Day in Golf History

October 24, 2010 - In one of the craziest finishes in the history of the PGA Tour, Jonathan Byrd made a hole-in-one on the fourth playoff hole, in fading daylight, to win the Justin Timberlake Shriners Hospital for Children Open at TPC Summerlin near Las Vegas. The shot marked the first time in PGA Tour history a tournament ended with a hole-in-one. - Courtesy of Randy Walker, Author of On This Day in Golf History, available via Amazon.com and by clicking HERE
