BYRON NELSON STREAK was only 10 not 11 imo

And just who the heck do you think you are MR.TIGEROVERJACK? Im sure thats what some have been asking since i started posting here Well anyways i just wanted to point out something that maybe many of you know or a few of you do not know. Im reading Byron Nelson's book The most remarkable year in the history of golf and in the end where it shows his entire season results i see his first win on his way to 11 was a two man team win. It was the Miami-Fourball where he teamed with McSapden to win the matchplay event. Now 11 has been accepted and i dont imagine that i will change this but i cannot seriously personally recognize this as part of a streak when he played with another golfer and beat other teams. Say Woods were to continue his streak up until say 9 or 10 and he and Furyk won the two man World Cup there is no way the fans or media would recognize this as an official win during the streak. I bought the book today and have been reading about this great golf season but i had to come on here and point out that it was 10 in a row as an individual and the first win of the streak was with a playing partner. Id love to hear your thoughts on this. Not much difference between 10 and 11 they are both big numbers but still no way i can recognize that first event the Miami-Fourball. Ill end with i have no ideal how the tour or fans or media would recognize in all fairness this first event with a matchplay team format? Thoughts please.
