This Day in Golf--March 14

Honor Arnie Week: An earlier version of this week’s Bay Hill tour event was the Florida Citrus Invitational. Arnold Palmer won it on March 14, 1971, at Rio Pinar Country Club, by one shot over Julius Boros. It was the 59th of 62 tour victories for A.P. While in Florida that month, Palmer had played at Bay Hill with Vice President Spiro Agnew. Non-Arnie notes on the 14th: Former major champions Bob Charles (81) and Bob Goalby (88) have birthdays today; legendary teacher John Jacobs, who passed away on January 13, was born on this day in 1925.
