This Day in Arnold Palmer History: March 4

Historical notes can’t always be happy ones. On this date in 1979, Arnold Palmer shot an 80 in the final round of the Bay Hill Citrus Classic, to complete a 70-74-70-80—294, 59th, $555, week. It was the first year the Orlando tour stop was played at A.P.’s Bay Hill course; Bob Byman was the winner.
