This Day in Golf History--June 11
On this date in 1950, Ben Hogan memorably won the U.S. Open at Merion in a playoff with Lloyd Mangrum and George Fazio after finishing four rounds with scores of 287. Hogan shot 69 in the playoff to Mangrum’s 73 and Fazio’s 75. The victory culminated Hogan’s comeback from a severe auto accident in 1949.
