This Day in Golf History: February 26

On this date in 1957, Augusta National Golf Club announced it would institute a 36-hole cut for the low 40 and ties in the Masters. This date is also the birthday of Arnold and Winnie Palmer’s first daughter, Peg, in 1956. And on this date in 1965, Sam Snead shot a 68 to share the second-round lead in the 26th Senior PGA at five under par with Chick Harbert and Henry Ransom at Fort Lauderdale C.C. Another 68 in the third round gave Sam control and he would win by four shots.
