This Day in Golf--Dec. 16
The PNC Father/Son Challenge begins today in Orlando. Now in its 20th playing, it began strictly as what the title says, a father and his son. But exceptions have been made over the years, including allowing daughters to play, and one big exception was made in order to get Arnold Palmer in the field starting in 2003: grandsons. Arnie played six times with grandson Sam Saunders, but on this date in 2012, he and another grandson, Will Wears, finished the event in 18th. It was the only event Palmer played in 2012, and it was essentially the last time he played a tour-related event in his career.
