On this date in 1973, Arnold Palmer won the Bob Hope Desert Classic for his 62nd and last PGA Tour title. 43-year-old Palmer played the rainy final and fifth round without his rain suit. Needing just par on the 18th to hold off Jack Nicklaus, he drained a 7-foot birdie putt instead, firing a closing 69 to win by two strokes.
