This Day in Golf--Oct. 28

In the 1960s, Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus were a dominant pair at the World Cup. On this date in 1963, at Golf de Saint-Nom-La-Breteche, Paris, inclement weather shortened the final round to nine holes, but the King and the Bear still took first as a team. Palmer shot 69-70-72-34—245 to tie for fifth and Nicklaus' final nine-hole 32 was good enough to secure first place.
