This Day in Golf History: October 10

On this date in 1968, Arnold Palmer played his first match of the Piccadilly World Match Play, at Wentworth West in England. It was a quarterfinal battle with Brian Huggett, and Arnie came out on top, 2 up. He lost the next match against Bob Charles, 7 and 6. The matches were 36 holes. And the Senior Players Championship ended in 2010 on this date with Mark O’Meara winning in a one-hole playoff with Michael Allen at TPC Potomac.
