...things like that do not seem to bother Boros-and this spring his game began to click. In the space of a month, ,he won two big tournaments (the COlonial National Invitation and the Buick Open), boosted his 1963 winnings to $43,680-fourth (behind Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer and Tony Lema) on the tour. When it came time to choose sides for the Open, more than one of Boros' fellow pros picked...

Palmer's 1963 money winnings ranked him a lowly fourth on the list headed by Jack Nicklaus, who already had $56,215 in the bank. He lost the Masters to Nicklaus by five strokes, the Las Vegas Tournament of Champions to Nicklaus by five strokes-and he had not won a tournament at all in more than two months...
