1930 PGA Championship Winner and Scores
Winner: Tommy Armour
Where it was played: Fresh Meadow Country Club in Flushing, New York
Tournament dates: Sept. 8-13, 1930
Notable notes: Tommy Armour defeated Gene Sarazen in the championship match by a 1-up final score. ... Armour led by a 1-up score following the morning 18, and it was all square after 27 holes. It remained all square as Armour, the "Silver Scot," and Sarazen, "the Squire," teed off on the 36th hole. Both golfers hit into a greenside bunker and both blasted out to the 10- to 12-foot range. Armour made his putt, Sarazen then missed, and the trophy was Armour's. ... This was the second of Armour's three career wins in majors. ... Leo Diegel, trying to win his third consecutive PGA Championship title, lost in the second round to Harold Sampson.
