Key anniversaries at the PGA Championship (The Associated Press)

SPRINGFIELD, N.J. (AP) -- A look at key anniversaries in PGA Championship history:

100 years ago (1916): Jim Barnes of England won the inaugural PGA Championship at Siwanoy Country Club, coming from one hole behind with three to play for a 1-up victory over Jock Hutchison. He won $500 and the Wanamaker Trophy. All the semifinalists - Barnes, Hutchison, Walter Hagen and Willie MacFarlane went on to win majors. The PGA Championship, after its debut, was not played again until 1919 because of World War I.

75 years ago (1941): Vic Ghezzi won his first major at Cherry Hills, going the distance to beat Lloyd Mangrum in the semifinals and then going 38 holes to defeat defending champion Byron Nelson.
