This Day in Golf History: November 16

On this date in 1990, in the RMCC Invitational hosted by Greg Norman, Arnold Palmer and partner Peter Jacobsen shot a best-ball 61 in the first round. They followed with an alternate-shot 66 and scramble 60 to finish second by five shots to Fred Couples and Raymond Floyd and win $70,000 each. Play was at Sherwood Country Club (72, 7,025), Thousand Oaks, California. Also, diminutive Corey Pavin, the UCLA star who won the 1995 U.S. Open at the American classic Shinnecock Hills, was born on this date in 1959 in Oxnard, California.
