This Day in Golf History: March 9

The Arnold Palmer Invitational concluded yesterday, but on today’s date in 1967, the tournament’s earlier incarnation, the Florida Citrus Open, began with the first round. Arnold would shoot 67-69-71-68—275 to tie for second and earn $11,212.50. Also, on this date in golf in 1963, Arnold Palmer shot a third-round 69 in the Pensacola Open. He shot 67 in the final round to win the $3,500 first-place money. It was his third victory of 1963, having already won in Los Angeles and Phoenix.
