...par five, with a driver and a No. 2 iron, and two-putted for a birdie. He parred the second and third, birdied the fourth...
...Arnold Palmer, 34, the No. 1 money-winner in golf. In nine seasons on the pro tour, Palmer had pocketed $473,008. But there it was, the final round of the Palm Springs Golf Classic, with $50,000 up for grabs, and Arnie had finished early, shooting three over par with the rest of the also-rans.

Palmer got the TV job as a substitute for Jimmy Demaret, a 53-year-old grandfather who was unavoidably detained: at that moment, he was out on the golf course, seven under par.

Bob Rosburg 6-putted on one hole, and Bob Harrison scored an even 100 for the last 18. "My sense of humor saved me," said "Champagne Tony," who collected $5,800 and promptly threw a bubble-water party for the press...
