This Day in Arnold Palmer History: March 11

Let’s prolong Arnie history one more day beyond the A.P Invitational because on this date in 1971, Arnold Palmer started his march to the only time he won the Orlando PGA Tour stop. He shot a 66 in the first round of the Florida Citrus Invitational at Rio Pinar C.C. and then shot three straight 68s to win. In 1960 on March 11, Palmer shot a second-round 65 at Pensacola, and in 1982, he scored a first-round 69 at the Vintage Sr. Inv., eventually finishing T-2. Also on this date, in 1956, the LPGA Titleholders Championship was won at Augusta Country Club by Louise Suggs by one shot over Patty Berg. It was her third Titleholders victory.
