This Day in Golf History: June 30

Before there was Bobby Jones one of the American amateur stars was Charles (Chick) Evans Jr. On this date in 1916, he won the U.S. Open by two shots over Jock Hutchison, shooting two under par for four rounds at Minikahda Club in Minnesota. In early September, Evans would win the U.S. Amateur at Merion, making him the first amateur to win the U.S. Open and Amateur in the same year.
