...With his pre-tournament perfection gone, Palmer labored like a Sunday duffer. His drives wandered about the fairways, his putts tantalizingly lipped the cup. Only his famed talents for "scrambling" kept him in the tournament at all. After the first 36 (of 72) holes, Palmer's one-over-par 143 tied him for a sorry 15th behind the surprise leader, Mike Souchak...

A golf nut, Lowery not only bankrolled Venturi...

Then, in their senior year, Worsham was killed in an automobile accident. Completely shaken. Palmer quit school: "I thought I'd go crazy. I was always looking around for Buddy." Palmer spent three Stateside years as an enlisted man in the Coast Guard, won the Ohio State Amateur while on leave...
