This Day in Golf--Nov. 3

Arnold Palmer played his first PGA Tour season in 1955, winning the Canadian Open for his first tour victory, and he was off and running, winning at least once for 17 straight seasons. On this date in 1957, he was already on tour win No. 7, winning the San Diego Open, with scores of 65-68-68-70—271, with first-place money of $2,800. The following April he would win his first major, the Masters.
