This Day in Golf History: September 19

On this date in 1968, Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus shot a 64 in the first round of the PGA Team Championship, but would cool off with 72-69-68 in the next three rounds for 273, a tie for 15th. And the 2004 Ryder Cup ended on this date at Oakland Hills Country Club with Europe retaining the trophy with a whomping over the United States, 18½-9½, the largest margin of victory by the American opponent in the series.
