SPORTLIGHT

Aug. 11

1943–Volo Song, driven by Ben White, wins the Hambletonian Stakes in the third heat.

1948–Demon Hanover, driven by Harrison Hoyt, wins the Hambletonian Stakes in straight heats.

1970–Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Jim Bunning beats the Houston Astros 6-5 to become the first pitcher to win 100 games in both leagues since Cy Young.

1974–Lee Trevino beats Jack Nicklaus by one stroke to capture the PGA Championship.

1979–Peter Haughton wins his second International Trot at Roosevelt Raceway by driving Doublemint to victory.

1984–Britain’s Sebastian Coe sets an Olympic record in the 1,500 meter with a 3:32.53 time.

1985–Hubert Green beats defending champion Lee Trevino by two strokes to take the PGA Championship.

1986–Bob Tway’s bunker shot on the final hole gives him the PGA Championship over Greg Norman.

1991–John Daly, the last alternate to make the field, wins the 73rd PGA Championship with a 1-under 71 to finish three strokes ahead of Bruce Lietzke.

1995–Michael Johnson wins the 200 meters in 19.79 seconds in the World Track and Field Championships to become the first runner to capture the 200 and 400 meters in a major championship.

1996–Mark Brooks makes a 5-foot birdie putt on the first hole of a playoff with Kenny Perry to win the PGA Championship.

2002–Karrie Webb’s latest comeback establishes a new standard of excellence on the LPGA Tour: the Super Slam–winning the four tournaments currently regarded as majors as well as the du Maurier, which lost its major status in 2000 after 21 years. Webb shoots a 6-under 66, rallying from three strokes behind to the first three-time winner in the Women’s British Open.

2008–In Beijing, Michael Phelps gets his second gold medal–thanks to a late comeback in the 400-meter freestyle relay by Jason Lezak, who lunges to the wall just ahead of the French anchor. The U.S. team’s time of 3:08.24 shatters its world record of 3:12.23 set the night before in preliminaries.
