In many ways, Arnold Palmer’s victory in the 1954 U.S. Amateur started it all. Within months of the win Palmer had turned pro, gotten married and begun his journey to becoming a legend. But more than that, it set the tone for Palmer’s career in a way that seemed as if it had been scripted in Hollywood, with a young working-class Arnie facing off against Robert Sweeny, a dashing, Oxford-educated banker’s son.
In 1971 Arnold Palmer purchased Latrobe Country Club, where his father, Deacon, had worked as both course superintendent and head golf pro, and where a young Arnie first learned to golf.
