Davis Love III to reach 100 majors played this week

Posted Aug 8, 2018
A gallon of gas was 89 cents, Crocodile Dundee was a hit at the box office, and Mike Tyson became the youngest heavyweight champion in history. A lot happened in 1986, so you get a pass if you missed Davis Love III finishing T47 at his first major. No one could have known it was the start of a historic run; he will play in his 100th major this week at the PGA Championship. (PGA Tour)
