This Day in Golf History: February 25

Golf in Texas this time of year wouldn't seem the ideal place to hold a PGA Tour event, but on this date in 1957, the Houston Open concluded and it was won by Arnold Palmer. The tour that year left Arizona on February 10, played the Texas Open February 14-17 and went to Houston. Palmer posted scores of 67-72-71-69—279 to win $7,500.
