Years after his marathon victory in the 1939 U.S. Open, Byron Nelson discussed his triumph, which required 108 holes of golf at Philadelphia Country Club. After a three-way playoff between Nelson, Craig Wood and Denny Shute left Nelson and Wood tied, the two played another 18 holes the next day, with Nelson's holing of his 1-iron approach shot on the fourth hole the turning point in his three-stroke victory.
