Arnold Palmer just turned 80 and is still promoting golf as much as ever. There have been a lot of articles written recently describing what a great influence he has been throughout the years.

Check out this Arnie section for a look back on his career highlights and stories.

Early Fireworks at AT & T

Anthony Kim shot a course record 62 at the first round of the AT & T National which included eight birdies and no bogeys. Kim is the defending champion, and now seeks his third victory on the PGA Tour. Kim is capable of going very low and making a lot of birdies, which he proved at the Masters earlier this year when he set a record by making 11 birdies in one round.



He will have to fend off tournament host Tiger Woods, who shot a first round 64 and trails Kim by two, along with D.A. Points and Bryce Molder. This year Tiger has already won Arnold Palmer's tournament at Bay Hill and Jack Nicklaus's tournament at the Memorial, and now seeks his third win this year by claiming his own tournament.
