This Day in Golf History: October 19

On this date in 1972, Arnold Palmer shot a 66 in the first round of the Kaiser International. He would shoot 67 in Round 2, but finish 75-74 to tie for 11th. Also, Lew Worsham, the winning benefactor of the 1947 U.S. Open when Sam Snead missed a short putt on the final hole in a disputed “out of turn” moment, died on this date in 1990 at age 73.
