This Day in Golf History: December 10

On this date in 1966, Arnold Palmer and partner Jack Nicklaus won the PGA National Team Championship, shooting scores of 63-66-63-64—256. And one of the giant killers in Arnold Palmer’s career was born on this date in 1937 in Cottonwood, Idaho. Don Bies, who won once on the PGA Tour, seven times on the senior and is still living, beat third-seeded Arnie on August 26, 1972, at the Country Club of North Carolina in the first round of the U.S. Professional Match-Play Golf Championship.
