...around the course, scoreboards flashed the news of Palmer's rally, and his competitors began to falter. Art Wall bogeyed three holes in a row. Arnie himself faltered momentarily on the 11th: he drove into the rough, overshot the green with his approach, staggered through a double-bogey six. "It was.'' smiled Palmer, "an easy six." Again, on the par-3. 234yd. 17th, Palmer seemed in trouble. His No. 4 iron carried over the green on the nubby apron. 50 ft. from the pin. Palmer studied the lie. He pulled out a putter, punched the ball...

...suddenly turned hot: he shot a three-under-par 69 that put him two strokes ahead of the fast-fading pack. The critical play came at the fearsome. 485-yd. eleventh hole-"the worst hole I've ever played," said Palmer-where three players already had scored sextuple-bogey elevens and Nicklaus later staggered to a ten. Splitting the narrow fairway with a No. 1 iron. Palmer sent a No. 2 iron shot whistling onto the green, just 20 ft. from the pin. Coolly, he stepped up and sank the putt for an eagle...

Playing near-flawless golf at a deliberate, almost indolent pace ("He plays too slow," said Palmer, "and I told him so"), Nicklaus made his par and took a one-stroke lead that he never relinquished.

...Idiot.""I wasn't scared," recalls Nicklaus. "I wasn't supposed to beat him anyhow, so why should I be scared? I just told myself, 'Most people get flustered when Palmer does this and start bogeying. Don't be an idiot. Remember, you've played twelve holes and you're one up-that's all that counts. Just play your own game. Palmer can bogey them too.' " On the par-three, 161-yd. 13th hole, Palmer did just that: he underclubbed himself, hit the green 40 ft. short...

...Rodgers. then a University of Houston student, turned around and announced to the gallery: "I've got a hundred bucks says I'll win this thing." No one felt like betting, and Rodgers went on to win 8 and 7. To these youngsters, Arnold Palmer is no bogey man, but just another pro trying to take money out of their pockets. Says Jack Nicklaus: "Arnie's not that much better than anyone else. Everybody thinks Palmer will win, and he has come from behind often enough so that pretty soon the player facing him thinks...
