Byron Nelson dies at age 94

Sad news to hear. He really seemed to be in good health, but at that age anything can happen, I guess. Condolences to the Nelson family.

Kinda crazy when you think about it, that for three straight months in 1945, nobody on the PGA tour won an event OTHER than Byron Nelson.

His streak is like the back-to-back no-hitters...no one will ever do that again. It was telling to watch the guys finish in the tournament that bears his name and see them walk up to him and say thank you, regardless of where they finished. He will be missed by anyone who likes gentlemen and winners in sports.
