May 26 Report: PGA Championship Winners Steve Elkington and Jeff Sluman

A pair of great successes this day to add to my major championship collection.

Both Steve Elkington and Jeff Sluman won the PGA Championship and both signed a photo of the Wanamaker Trophy accordingly.

Elkington, who is one of the nicest, funniest and sincere guys on Tour, inscribed his photo with this year's date. This was a first as winners of the majors have typically either inscribed no date or inscribed it with their winning year. Perhaps Elkington will win the PGA Championship this year and I'll have a photo already inscribed with that date??? Then I'll have to go back and ask him to sign one and inscribe it with 1995 -- the year he won his first major championship. Still very happy to have this added to my collection.

Sluman made an awesome inscription on his Wanamaker Trophy photo. In addition to signing it he also wrote 1988 PGA Champ. Really enjoy when winners add the year they won to the photo.

Sluman has won six times on the PGA Tour including the aforementioned PGA. He is now playing on the Champions Tour (over 50) and i've no doubt we'll see him in the winner's circle on that Tour a few more times.
