This Day in Golf History: November 3

On this date in 1957, Arnold Palmer won the sixth San Diego Open, shooting 65-68-68-70—271, beating Al Balding by one shot at Mission Valley Country Club. 1st place was worth $2,800. And as national Election Day nears, a little politics with golf. Jack Westland, a U.S. House of Representatives member from 1953 to 1965, died on this date in 1982 at Pebble Beach, California, at age 77. Westland won the U.S. Amateur in 1952 in a strong amateur career.
