This Day in Golf History: January 14

On this date in 1971, Arnold Palmer shot a 72 in the Bing Crosby National Pro-Am, not a promising start to contend in a tournament he never won. However, he went 68-69 to get into contention for the final round. But a three-putt on Pebble Beach’s fifth hole hurt his cause and he finished two shots behind winner Tom Shaw’s 278 on January 17. And on this date in 1996, Liselotte Neumann won the Chrysler-Plymouth Tournament of Champions at Grand Cypress Resort in Orlando, shooting 13 under to win $117,500.
