This Day in Travelers Golf History: June 26

David Frost of South Africa was never too far from Greg Norman in the 1994 Canon Greater Hartford Open. After two rounds, Frost was one ahead. They both shot 66 in Round 3 to stay one stroke apart, and when they matched 69s on this date in ’94, Frost came out ahead for his ninth tour victory. Also on this date in 1911, John McDermott made history by becoming the first American-born champion of the U.S. Open when he defeated George Simpson and Mike Brady in a playoff at Chicago Golf Club.
