On This Day in Golf History

April 30, 1989 - Just two weeks after losing a heartbreaker to Nick Faldo at The Masters, Scott Hoch won the Las Vegas Invitational in a playoff. Hoch had missed a two-footer at Augusta National but bounced back with a win, edging Robert Wrenn for his fourth PGA Tour title. - Courtesy of Randy Walker, Author of On This Day in Golf History, available via Amazon.com and by clicking HERE
