1993: A Championship to Cherish
PGA National Golf Club Palm Beach Gardens, Fla.
Tom Wargo of Centralia, Ill., became the first PGA club professional since 1979 to win one of senior golf's major championships, and accomplished the feat in a memorable extra-hole duel. Wargo, who hadn't taken up golf until age 25, was tied with Bruce Crampton after 72 holes at 13-under-par 275.
Wargo defeated Crampton in a two-hole playoff, highlighted by a spectacular save for par from a greenside bunker on the 16th hole at PGA National's Champion Course. Crampton followed by sending his tee shot on the par-3 17th hole into the water. Wargo's tee shot found the middle of the green from where he two-putted for victory.
"This one is for all the club professionals and the fans," said Wargo, hoisting the Alfred S. Bourne Trophy.
