Byron Nelson (1912-2006) Golfer. 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 set the standard for the greatest single season in the history of the game. 8” x 10” black and white photograph signed, “To Ken – Byron Nelson.”
