This Day in Golf--March 7

Arnold Palmer supported the off-the-beaten-path Pensacola Open quite well on the PGA Tour. His first win there was in 1960. On March 7, 1963, he began that year’s Pensacola with a first-round 69. After subsequent rounds of 68-69-67—273 he had won it again, taking top money of just $3,500. He also won the Los Angeles Open, Phoenix Open, Thunderbird Classic, Cleveland Open, Western Open and Whitemarsh Open in ’63.
