This Day in U.S. Open Golf History: June 16

Several players are among those who are considered “the best player to not win a major” starting today at The Country Club in the U.S. Open. A player who went down in history as one of the greatest to never win a major, Harry Cooper, was involved in today’s U.S. Open moment. He was in good shape to win the 1927 championship at Oakmont but shot 77 in the final round on June 16 and then lost the next day to Tommy Armour, 76-79, in a playoff.
