This Day in Golf History: August 15

A PGA Championship that was believed tailor made for Arnold Palmer to win instead went to Dave Marr on this date in 1965. Held at a course Palmer played out of his home in nearby Latrobe, the PGA at Laurel Valley was supposed to ensure an Arnie victory. But he was a nonfactor, tied for 33rd, and the affable Marr won by two over Bill Casper and Jack Nicklaus.
