Okay, so I got this thing I wanted to do – check out Byron Nelson’s past results. You know, the golf guy. First, I gotta find where this info is.
I went online and started looking around. There were some things about him, like he had a crazy year in 1945. Won 18 tournaments out of 30, and even got 11 wins in a row! That’s wild. It said this record still stands today. Some people say it was easier back then ’cause of World War II, and many good players were in the army.
I also saw that his winning streak was from March to August in ’45. He played 50 rounds in a row, par or better, can you believe it? I found some details like he won some big tournaments, like the Masters in ’37 and ’42. Sounds like a big deal.
Then I found this other site that claimed to have “Real-Time Live Scoring” for golf, but I wasn’t sure if they had old results. It took me a while, but I dug deeper into these websites.
- First, I spent time reading about his 1945 season.
- Then, I tried to find a list of all his wins.
- After that, I looked for the scores from those tournaments.
It was kind of messy, jumping from one site to another. But I wanted to see how good he really was. Finally, I found a place that had a good record of his major wins. I made a note of all the tournaments he won and the years.
Key Wins
I wrote down the Masters Tournament wins in 1937 and 1942, and also noted his other big wins. It was cool to see it all laid out like that. After a few hours of this, I felt like I had a pretty good idea of his career.
It was a fun little project, learning about Byron Nelson. Makes you appreciate what these guys did back in the day. He was truly a legend, man.
