This Day in Golf History: November 1

Happy 90th birthday to South African Gary Player who was born on this date in 1935, six years after Arnold Palmer but four ahead of Jack Nicklaus; the three would become the Big Three in global golf. Player won nine majors. Also, on this date in 1974, Arnold Palmer and partner Lanny Wadkins shot a 63 in the Walt Disney World National Team Championship. That followed a first-round 67. They shot 66 and 67 in the final two rounds to tie for 25th.
