This Day in Masters Golf History: April 10

Arnold Palmer rued April 10, 1961, for the rest of his career. A lack of concentration after hitting his drive on the final hole in the fairway with a one-shot lead caused him to make a double-bogey 6, losing by one shot to Gary Player, who became the first international Masters champion.
