This Day in Golf History: November 28

One of the most distinguished gentlemen pros, Henry Picard, was born on this date in 1906 in Plymouth, Massachusetts. The winner of the 1938 Masters and 1939 PGA, Picard was appreciated for his demeanor and character, and was well liked by subsequent generations of pros, such as Arnold Palmer. He was inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame in April 2006, 100 years after his birth. On this date in 1987, the first day of the Skins Game was held at TPC at PGA West in La Quinta, California. By the second day, Lee Trevino had won the most money with $310,000, with Jack Nicklaus and Fuzzy Zoeller next with $70,000 each. Arnold Palmer was shut out with no skins and no cash.
