Memorable day: Arnold Palmer's final walk at Oakmont crossed over with OJ Simpson's Bronco chase
Arnold Palmer is surrounded by media after his second round at the 1994 U.S. Open at Oakmont Country Club. It would be Palmer's last U.S. Open. (Getty Images) OAKMONT, Pa. — Thirty-one years ago, at the 1994 U.S. Open at Oakmont, Arnold Palmer walked up the 18th fairway, tears in his eyes as he waved to the gallery applauding him. This was Palmer's final hole of his final U.S. Open, and western Pennsylvania was giving its beloved native son the hero's sendoff he deserved. But although virtually no one at Oakmont knew it at the time — cell phones still being decades in the future — another event was unfolding at that exact same moment that would dominate national news for the next two years. The stories of Arnold Palmer and O.J. Simpson, co-stars in a series of ridiculous Hertz commercials, would cross paths one last time. Advertisement June 17, 1994, was a wickedly hot day at Oakmont, and Palmer, under a straw hat, labored his way around the course starting at 8:40 a.m. The surrounding galleries, all deputized into Arnie's Army one last time, applauded every one of his 81 strokes. He was grouped with John Mahaffey and Rocco Mediate, who would gain fame 14 years later at another U.S. Open, the 2008 Torrey Pines masterpiece he lost to Tiger Woods. This would be the record fifth time Palmer played in a U.S. Open at Oakmont, the same course where a young, chubby Jack Nicklaus had broken his heart in a playoff in 1962. Palmer received a special exemption to play in the tournament, a move that didn't sit well with a couple of players who grumbled that Palmer was taking a spot from a more deserving young player. (Those complaints persist to this day, though not over players with Palmer's stature.) Advertisement At the same time as Palmer was teeing off, Simpson was at the home of his attorney Robert Kardashian. (Yes, of the reality-TV Kardashians.) Simpson's ex-wife Nicole and a local waiter, Ronald Goldman, had been brutally murdered outside Nicole Simpson's home just five days before. O.J. Simpson had already been questioned by police, and at some point during the day, Simpson and his attorneys were informed that he would be charged with the murders. Palmer and Simpson both shilled for Hertz in the 1980s, and watching those ads today is a strange experience — there's Simpson, 10 years away from the murders that would upend an entire country, happily goofing around with Palmer, as awkward in front of a camera as he was comfortable in front of galleries: According to confidants — with, perhaps, a little historical revisionism — Palmer and Simpson weren't particularly close. "I think O.J. tolerated Arnold," a Palmer friend told ESPN's Ian O'Connor in 2016. "O.J. had a lot of bluster and arrogance and during filming it was a lot of, 'Arnold, you do it this way and I'll do it that way.' When they were together, Arnold would laugh at O.J. But I don't think they were social friends, and I don't remember them playing golf together." Advertisement Palmer closed out his U.S. Open career with that long walk up 18, and he wasn't the only one crying. His slow walk was evidence of the ravaging effects of time, but his determined stride demonstrated the spirit that had made him a hero to millions and golf's first modern star. 'I suppose the most important thing,' he said, sobbing into a towel, 'is the fact that it has been as good as it has been to me.' A few hours after Palmer's sorrowful departure, Los Angeles police announced that Simpson — who had failed to surrender to authorities — was now a wanted fugitive. Simpson's whereabouts were unknown until he called 911 just before 6 p.m. Pacific Time, riding in the back of a white Ford Bronco driven by his friend Al Cowlings. Simpson was finally apprehended around midnight Eastern Time, setting off one of the most divisive and fascinating trials in American history. Advertisement That day ended up being one of the most memorable cross-sport news days of the 1990s, so much so that an exceptional ESPN 30 for 30 — called, appropriately enough, 'June 17, 1994' — spotlighted the wildly varying events. In addition to Palmer and Simpson, the day featured the New York Rangers' ticker-tape parade, a U.S. World Cup game, a New York Knicks victory in Game 5 of the NBA Finals, and Ken Griffey Jr.'s 30th home run of the season. Without social media feeding a constant stream of news and updates, many Americans may have missed one, or several, of the big moments. But no golf fan missed Arnie's final walk. And an estimated 95 million Americans caught the Simpson Bronco chase. Palmer changed the trajectory of golf, and Simpson's case changed the trajectory of American culture. For one day in June 1994, they shared that unexpected, final spotlight.

Club World Cup a test of Chelsea's elite credentials
Cole Palmer burst back into form in the Conference League final to help Chelsea beat Real Betis in Poland (Wojtek RADWANSKI) After securing their return to the Champions League on the final day of the season, Chelsea have an early chance to show they belong back among the elite this summer at the Club World Cup. Enzo Maresca's side beat Nottingham Forest in their last Premier League match to clinch fourth place after an inconsistent campaign, ending a two-season absence from Europe's top competition. Advertisement The Blues, who reached FIFA's revamped and expanded event by landing a second Champions League triumph in 2021, have been handed a favourable opening raft of fixtures in the United States. Chelsea begin their Club World Cup campaign in Group D against Los Angeles FC, who battled through a play-off round against Club America to replace the disqualified Club Leon. After that opening fixture in Atlanta on Monday, Chelsea head north to face Brazilian team Flamengo and Tunisia's Esperance, both in Philadelphia. Los Angeles boast former Chelsea striker Olivier Giroud, although the 38-year-old is not a regular starter. Advertisement Flamengo, who qualified by lifting the Copa Libertadores in 2022, are coached by well-regarded former Chelsea and Atletico Madrid defender Filipe Luis. Esperance have won eight of the last nine Tunisian league titles but are considered the weakest team in the group. In the knock-out rounds tantalising potential clashes against Bayern Munich and Champions League holders Paris Saint-Germain may lie ahead. Chelsea won the competition in its previous format in 2022, beating Brazil's Palmeiras in the final. There will be special interest in how new Chelsea signing Liam Delap fares after his recent move from relegated Ipswich. Advertisement The Blues beat Manchester United among other clubs in the race for the 22-year-old striker who netted 12 times in 37 top-flight matches and moved for £30 million ($41 million). Chelsea lacked firepower up front this season with Nicolas Jackson inconsistent and Christopher Nkunku struggling badly for form. - Palmer introduction - Delap, the son of former Stoke midfielder Rory Delap, came through the Manchester City youth academy like Chelsea's star player, Cole Palmer. The England international's revival towards the end of the season is a positive sign, with Palmer dazzling in the Conference League final win over Real Betis. Advertisement The 23-year-old missed Chelsea's pre-season tour of the US last summer and Maresca said it was a chance for the playmaker to take the country by storm. "Palmer is up there with the very best top players who can produce something at any moment, create something out of nothing," said the coach. "He wasn't with me on the USA tour last summer, so it will also be a chance for him to experience the environment there and to introduce himself to North America." Beating Betis in Poland earned Maresca his first trophy as Chelsea manager and a deep run in the United States would be another sign that the Blues are heading in the right direction. Advertisement On an upwards trajectory and with a young squad, Chelsea have plenty of potential to improve in the years to come. "(Critics) were saying that we were not able to win... because we're too young, because we're not experienced," said Maresca after sealing fourth place in the Premier League. "Unfortunately for them, they have all been wrong." Summer success is also important to the club's co-owners, US businessman Todd Boehly and private equity firm Clearlake Capital, with nearly £100 million on the line for the winners. While not among the set of top favourites, including English rivals Manchester City, 15-time European champions Real Madrid and PSG, Chelsea are still expected to reach the last eight. Advertisement With fans not fully sold on Maresca's brand of possession football, and even Palmer saying he was "sick" of the ball going from side to side in the Conference League final, another trophy could help soothe any building tension in south-west London. rbs/mw
