Lee Trevino tells a hilarious story about Arnold Palmer

Tributes to Arnold Palmer have been flooding in from all corners following news of his death on Sunday night. Fellow golf legend Lee Trevino was among them, but for as good as it was, his best tribute to Palmer probably came back in 2013, when he described playing his last competitive round with Palmer.

In typical Trevino fashion, he talked about how he was playing with Arnie when he began having trouble seeing the pin. Palmer decided right then this would be his last competitive round and withdrew from the tournament. But knowing that the crowd came out to see him play, Palmer didn’t want to leave them disappointed, so he played the rest of the round as an exhibition so the fans could watch him.

What a legend. Here’s the video of Trevino telling it:
