My favorite Arnold Palmer story - He had just finished a tough round of golf including recording a '12' on one hole and a reporter asked him how he managed to score a '12'.

Arnie just deadpanned "I missed my putt for an 11"

RIP Arnold.

Geez, Gordie Howe, Muhammad Ali, and Arnold Palmer, three sporting greats who all transcended their respective sports, it's been a tough year.

One of the legends of golf. Arnie was a fan favorite.

That's a great quote.

Lee Trevino chimes in:

“I used to hear cheers go up from the crowd around Palmer,” Lee Trevino said. “And I never knew whether he'd made a birdie or just hitched up his pants.

For me, Arnie and Gordie were the same guy playing different sports. Both in their prime just before I was old enough to follow sports. Both legends and icons. And both with a reputation outside the game as big or bigger than inside. Class gentlemen both.

RIP Mr Palmer.
