Arnold Palmer, left, helps the Masters winner, Gary Player, center, put on his green jacket.
One reason Arnold Palmer was known as “The People’s Champ:” he could screw up just like the rest of us. Palmer led South African great Gary Player, who had already finished his round, by a stroke going into the final hole. But then the trouble started. He put his approach shot towards the green into a back bunker, then blasted his sand shot through the crowd, and down a slope near a TV tower. Palmer furiously lectured himself; he finished with a double bogey. Player did a celebratory jig, and became the first non-American Masters champ.
