This Day in Golf History--August 7

Arnold Palmer won his 20th PGA Tour title on this date in 1960, his watershed year when he emerged as the main superstar in golf. At the Insurance City Open, he finished four rounds of 70-68-66-66—270 to tie for first with Bill Collins and Jack Fleck and then win in a three-hole, sudden-death playoff. First place was worth $3,500.
