on September 6, 1913 In the same year that Francis Ouimet won his historic U.S. Open title, 1913, the 19th U.S. Amateur was won on this date by Jerry Travers, in a 5-and-4 victory over John G. Anderson at the outstanding Garden City Golf Club on Long Island, New York. And this wasn’t on-course history, but on this date in 1954, Arnold Palmer met future wife Winifred Walzer at Shawnee Inn/Poconos while playing a two-man team tournament.
