This Day in Golf History: June 13

Ben Hogan has one of the greatest records in the U.S. Open, most impressively tied for the most victories with four, discounting the Hale America National Open in 1942, which the USGA doesn't count. Hogan's fourth victory came on June 13, 1953, when he won by six over Sam Snead at Oakmont. During the next seven years, Hogan had finishes of 7th, 2nd, 2nd, 10th, 8th and 9th, but never did win the National Open again.
