This Day in Golf History: February 8

The WM Phoenix Open is being played this weekend. On this date in 1962, Arnold Palmer shot a first-round 64 in the Phoenix Open, one of his lowest rounds ever on the PGA Tour, to be the leader.  Also on this date, on the LPGA Tour, Australian star Jan Stephenson won her first of 16 times on tour in 1976. She finished at two-over-par 218 in the Sarah Coventry Naples Classic on Lely Country Club to edge Judy Meister and Sandra Haynie by one shot.
