Walter Hagen & Arnold Palmer were the greatest contributors to the growth & success of professional golf. Had Palmer been able to focus less on outside business & other diversions, he would have won more majors than Nicklaus. He almost won 7 more U.S. Opens, 3 other Masters, 2 other British Opens, & 4 PGAs. From tee to green, he was the best of his era - greater than Nicklaus, Player, Casper, Lema, & all others, but too often lost the winning margin on the greens. He was, & is, :"The KIng."
