This Day in Golf History: February 25

On this date in 1957, Arnold Palmer shot a final-round 69 at Memorial Park to win his fourth PGA Tour victory, at the Houston Open. Football icon Bear Bryant was among those watching during the week as Palmer shot rounds of 67-72-71-69—279, earning the richest prize on the winter tour,  $7,500. After getting his check, Arnie said, “As of today I have invested [the money] in a house.”
