This Day in Golf History: November 24

On this date in 1960, Arnold Palmer shot a 68 in the first round of the Mobile Sertoma Open en route to winning a few days later. Scott Hoch, whose career was sadly defined by his near miss in the 1989 Masters, was born on this date in 1955 in Raleigh, North Carolina. Hoch missed a short putt to win the Masters on the 10th hole, the first hole of sudden death with Nick Faldo, who then won on the next hole with a birdie. But Hoch was a multi tour-winner who twice represented the U.S. in the Ryder Cup.
