Just as there is no argument that perfection in golf is unattainable, no one argues that Byron Nelson has come the closest to attaining it.
Nelson’s streak of 11 victories in a row in 1945 is considered the least attainable record not only in golf, but in sports. His total of 18 victories that year, seven second-place finishes, his 19 consecutive rounds under 70 and his scoring average of 68.33 (and 67.45 in the fourth round) set the standard for the greatest single season in the history of the game.
