"Lord Byron" Nelson dies at 94

Sad news to report. The golf legend Byron Nelson passed away today at the age of 94 years old. Nelson, a winner of 5 majors, holds the single season record of 11 straight victories (which was a part of 18 victories in 1945). He retired at the young age of 34 to work on his ranch. His tournament, the Byron Nelson Classic, is a perennial favorite among PGA players. More from ESPN.

His record of 11 tournament wins in a row will never be broken in the modern day PGA.
Rest in peace, Mr. Nelson.
