This Day in Golf--July 28

In Arnold Palmer’s first full season on tour, 1955, he entered 30 events, won the Canadian Open, earned $7,958 and had a 70.99 scoring average. In 1956, he entered one event less and had a higher average at 71.14, but he doubled his victories, winning the Insurance City Open in a playoff and the Eastern Open. For the latter, he shot 70-66 the first two days, and on this date for Round 3, took total control with a 69. A final-round 72 was good enough to win the $3,800 top prize.
