This Day in Golf--Aug. 20
On the day the U.S. Amateur concludes, the 1954 champion, Arnold Palmer, is in today's special golf date. On Aug. 20, 1955, Palmer shot a final-round 70 to go with previous rounds of 64-67-64 to win the Canadian Open, the first PGA Tour victory of his career. In a sign of the times, the top prize was worth just $2,400.
