From pasture golf to Barnes’s homecoming
The Club’s first professional, Jim Barnes, won the 1921 U.S. Open shortly after the new course opened. Pelham celebrated his return and made President Warren Harding, who presented the trophy, an honorary member.

- 2026 PGA Championship Media Guide The official Media Guide directly enumerates the 6th playing, champion, site, and its year-page date span. The recorded venue and champion preserve the official PGA Championship History entry’s published text. The champion-only winner field is intentionally separate from the official match-play result: 1 up over Walter Hagen (38 Holes).
