This weekend features the ATT Byron Nelson PGA event.
Here's to celebrating his legacy in golf.
Nelson turned pro in 1932 and quickly established himself as one of the top golfers in the world. He won his first PGA Tour event in 1935 and went on to win a total of 52 PGA Tour events over the course of his career.
Nelson is perhaps best known for his remarkable winning streak in 1945, when he won 11 consecutive PGA Tour events, a record that still stands today. During that streak, he
won a total of 18 tournaments, including two major championships.
Nelson's success on the golf course was due
in large part to his impeccable swing and his mental toughness.
He had a smooth, rhythmic swing that was marked by a full shoulder turn and a fluid release of the club. He was also known for his
exceptional putting, and he was one of the best clutch putters of his era.
