The Motor City Open was a PGA Tour event played at various clubs in and around Detroit for just under two decades. The PGA Tour record for the longest sudden-death playoff was established at the 1949 Motor City Open. Cary Middlecoff and Lloyd Mangrum played 11 holes at Meadowbrook Country Club in Northville, Michigan and were still stalemated when darkness arrived. Tournament officials, with their mutual consent, declared them co-winners.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url=http://www.wgv.com/hof/member.php?member=1081 )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url=http://golf.about.com/od/progolftours/qt/longestplaym.htm )〕 In 1955, the Motor City Open was originally to be played at Meadowbrook Country Club. This was abandoned however, when Meadowbrook club professional, Chick Harbert, won the PGA Championship in 1954. Meadowbrook petitioned for and won the opportunity to host the 1955 PGA Championship. Due to this development, the Motor City Open was not held in 1955. This is the only time that a defending champion of a major championship has hosted the tournament the following year. ==Tournament hosts== *1948, 1949, 1954, 1959 Meadowbrook Country Club (Northville, Michigan) *1950, 1952 Red Run Golf Club (Royal Oak, Michigan) *1956 Western Golf and Country Club (Redford, Michigan) *1962 Knollwood Country Club (West Bloomfield, Michigan) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Motor City Open」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
