The List Issue: Things You'll Never See Again: Golf Digest

1. A first-round 91 from the champion (Newport, 1895)

Horace Rawlins rallies with a second-round 82 to win inaugural. Last 50 years the winner's highest opening-day score has been 75 (Larry Nelson, 1983; Raymond Floyd, 1986).

2. A 72-hole playoff (Inverness, 1931)

Billy Burke and George Von Elm need second 36-hole playoff when they remain tied after the first.

3. A 19 on one hole (Cherry Hills, 1938)

Hitting his approach into the creek guarding the par-5 16th, Ray Ainsley stubbornly tries playing the ball, refusing to take a drop. Eventually getting it out and onto the green, he one-putts for a 19. Elapsed time: 30 minutes.

4. Nineteen starts by an amateur

Charles (Chick) Evans Jr.'s first was in 1914 and last was in 1954. Worst finish in first 10 starts: 18th place.

5. An impostor playing the course (Baltusrol, 1980)

In a practice round, 7-handicap Barry Bremen poses as qualifier Chuck Moran. Joining Bobby Nichols and Jim Thorpe on the fourth hole, he makes it to 18 before being caught.

6. A contestant wearing shorts (Oakmont, 1983)

Admonished for them in practice rounds, Forrest Fezler changes into navy-blue shorts for the final hole.

7. 18 top-10 finishes

Jack Nicklaus' feat seems safe as no current player has more than seven (Ernie Els, Phil Mickelson, Jeff Maggert and Vijay Singh). Tiger Woods has five.
