1960 U.S. Open at Cherry Hills C.C. in Colorado; one of his greatest "charges" for which he was so noted.  Down seven strokes going into the last round and he took it; a great feat no matter what sport you may compare it against.  I've never been a golfer, but Arnold was a noted sportsman of the 60's along with Jack.
Hit'em straight and long, Arnie.  Rest your soul.angel

Don't even like the sport but, he was a true gentleman and represented himself and his sport well.
May he rest in peace.

He seemed like a good guy. Had his army wherever he went. Got to talk to him once over the radio  quite by accident while flying. He flew his own Cessna Citation. He'll be missed.
But, I've been drinking 'his' drink long it was called an Arnold Palmer.
