🇺🇸 Arnold Palmer

“Arnie” made it back-to-back wins at The Open in 1962.

The King himself, Arnold Palmer, won his second British Open in a row in 1962. Palmer cruised his way to victory after holding a five-shot lead after carding a 67 in the third round. He finished with a 69 and won by six strokes. Afterwards, a confident Palmer said, “I haven’t quite played four rounds of golf like that in my life.”

Next: 1973 Tom Weiskopf
