As we continue to remember and highlight the life of Jack Burke Jr., we get to his second Major Championship win.
A few months after his victory at The Masters, Mr. Burke won the 1956 pgachampionship at Blue Hill CC in Massachusetts.
This was during the match play era when the event called for 9 rounds or 162 holes contested over 5 days. He defeated Ted Kroll 3&2 in the 36-hole Final match on July 24th to win.
