...longer plays for nickels. His $17,500 purse for his eyelash victory at the Masters Tournament in Augusta, Ga. this month boosted his 1960 tournament earnings to $44,256, a record for so early in the season. With six victories already this year, Palmer towers above the pack as the strong favorite for this summer's major pro tests: the U.S. Open at Englewood, Colo, in June, the British Open at St. Andrews and the Professional Golfers' Association tournament at Akron...
