On This Day in Golf History:
April 19, 1987 - Davis Love III won his first PGA Tour title at the (then-MCI) Heritage Classic in Hilton Head, SC. Love won by one stroke over Steve Jones who double-bogeyed the final hole at Harbour Town Golf Links. “Just one bad shot at the wrong moment,” said Jones of his tee shot that went out of bounds.
