This Day in Golf History: July 2

On this date in 2007, Arnold Palmer and Peter Jacobsen played 18 holes with 18 different local twosomes in the Blackhawk Golf C. Celebrity Charity Challenge. Also, getting a bit of revenge for many past times Jack Nicklaus got the best of him, Tom Weiskopf won the 1995 U.S. Senior Open at Congressional C.C. on this date, four shots ahead of Nicklaus. And amateur Catherine Lacoste shocked the golf world by winning the U.S. Women’s Open on this date in 1967. Her score of 294 at Virginia Hot Springs Golf & Tennis Club won by two shots over Susie Maxwell.
