Bryson DeChambeau has finished in the Top 10 in seven consecutive golf tournaments this year. I thought that was pretty impressive, and might be close to a record. Wrong. Check out this statistic:
The recordholder for finishing in the Top 10 in the most consecutive tournaments is Byron Nelson - 65. Yes, Nelson placed in the Top 10 in 65 PGA Tour events in row, starting with the 1942 Texas Open and continuing until the 1946 New Orleans Open.
65 consecutive over a 4 year stretch! :eek: Hats off to Mr. Nelson!
Here's another eye-opener: Sam Snead is the oldest player to make the cut at a major event. He was 67 years old when he made the cut at the 1979 PGA.
