A Date in Golf History--Masters Style

Pausing this week to highlight special dates in Masters history with a focus on four-time winner Arnold Palmer: Arnie won his third green jacket in 1962. Played on April 5-9 , the 26th Masters had the tournament’s usual excitement, this time in a three-way playoff among Palmer, Gary Player and Dow Finsterwald. Arnold shot 31 on the second nine to win the playoff with 68 to Player’s 71 and Finsty’s 77.
