This Day in Golf History: March 19

Today's date holds great meaning for Arnold Palmer in Bay Hill/Arnold Palmer Invitational history. On March 19, 2004, he played his final round as a competitor in the tournament so dear to him, shooting 79 to miss the 36-hole cut. He had shot 88 in Round 1. In 1993, on another March 19, he shot 76 but still made the cut for the final time in the event. Also on this date, the great J.H. Taylor, five-time Open champion, was born on this day in 1871.
