This Day in Golf History: November 13

On this date in 1977, Silvia Bertolaccini won the LPGA Colgate Far East Golf Open in Singapore, by one shot over Kathy Whitworth, Pat Bradley, and Donna Caponi. And taking a pause this week to highlight special dates in Masters history, with a focus on four-time winner Arnold Palmer: One of Arnie’s biggest career regrets was the 25th Masters, played in 1961 on April 6-10. Leading by a shot with one hole to play, Palmer let his mind wander after a great drive and made a double bogey to place one shot behind Gary Player. Palmer had scores of 68-69-73-71—281 to tie for second.
