This Day in Golf History: February 11

Nick Taylor will be among the leaders today at the WM Phoenix Open going after a victory. On this date in 1962, Arnold Palmer won the Phoenix Open after some of the best scoring of his career. He had rounds of 64-68-71-66 for 269, winning by 12 shots at Phoenix Country Club. Also on this date in 1911, one of the more obscure pioneering woman golfers, Helen Hicks, was born on this date in Cedarhust, New York. Hicks won the 1937 Western and 1940 Titleholders.
