Defending champion Payne Stewart was in the final pairing with Grady, but was two-over par on the front nine. On the par-5 11th hole, he put his third shot into the water and fell from contention with a triple bogey. Grady became the third Australian-born player to win the PGA Championship, preceded by Jim Ferrier in 1947 and David Graham in 1979. It was Grady's second and final win on the PGA Tour. Concerns about racial discrimination in the club's membership caused many sponsors to pull their network television advertising, including IBM. This was the final year that ABC carried the broadcast, replaced by CBS in 1991.https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=hfFRAAAAIBAJ&sjid=1m4DAAAAIBAJ&pg=6580%2C4139198 Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Parascenzo Marino Sponsors' exits may cost ABC $2 million August 13, 1990 21 Controversy Leading up to the tournament, Shoal Creek founder Hall Thompson doubled down on the club's policy of excluding African-Americans from membership. Various groups threatened to protest the event and sponsors pulled out, and the PGA considered moving the tournament away from Shoal Creek. In the end, a local African-American executive accepted an invitation to become an honorary member and the tournament was held as planned.Jaime Diaz https://www.nytimes.com/1990/08/01/sports/golf-shoal-creek-club-agrees-to-begin-admitting-blacks.html Shoal Creek Club Agrees To Begin Admitting Blacks The New York Times August 1, 1990 September 14, 2012 Venue Shoal Creek Club This was the second PGA Championship at Shoal Creek, which hosted six years earlier in 1984.
