HBO insiders attending the World Congress of Sports say that HBO Sports has started production on its newest documentary, which will chronicle the 1960 U.S. Open Golf Championship. That’s the tournament at which Arnold Palmer defeated the amateur Jack Nicklaus and Ben Hogan in a memorable duel. The hourlong program is slated to run June 11, the day before the 2008 tournament starts.
