This Day in Golf History: November 12

Taking a pause this week to highlight special dates in Masters history, with a focus on four-time winner Arnold Palmer: In 1960, Arnie won his second Masters on April 7-10, shooting 282, including a 67 in Round 1. His first-place money was $17,500. Ten weeks later, he won the U.S. Open at Cherry Hills in an epic comeback in the final round. Also, on this date in 1967, Margie Masters won the LPGA Quality Chekd Golf Classic at Lake Waco Golf Course, by one shot over the dynamic group of Carol Mann, Kathy Whitworth, and Mickey Wright.
