Nelson Wins Porty Card Open With 70 In Playoff
Byron Nelson defeated Craig Wood 70 to 73 in a second 18 hole playoff to capture the Porty Card national open at Philadelphia Country Club. Nelson and Wood were tied after 72 holes and Nelson led with Denny Shute out of the news, in a dramatic finish that echoed the same three ball playoff last seen in 1931. Nelson earned $1000, Wood $300, as the field watched a taxing Spring Mill course test their accuracy and nerves.
