    The owner history distinguishes the first nine opened in 1937 from Press Maxwell’s second nine opened in 1957, then explicitly lists this championship and year among tournaments hosted on the course. This selected event postdates the eighteen-hole completion. This binds the continuing physical Course, not an unchanged routing.
