Golf Hall-of-famer Byron Nelson passed away today at the age of 94.

Nelson holds the PGA tour record of 18 wins in a single season, including a record 11 wins in a row.

"Lord Byron" was his nickname, and he is the only member of the Golf Hall of Fame to have a PGA tour event named after him: the EDS Byron Nelson Classic.

Nelson retired from pro golf at the young age of 34.

The Byron Nelson Classic is a huge social event in the Dallas area... alas I've never been.
