This Day in Golf History: June 6

On this date in 1936, Tony Manero won the U.S. Open at Baltusrol in New Jersey. He was the surprise winner, by two shots over Harry Cooper. The name Manero is known in Connecticut for the excellent restaurant that existed for 62 years in Greenwich and which closed in 2006. Tony Manero was a star attraction at the restaurant but it was owned by his nephew Nick. Tony Manero died at age 84 in 1989.
