This Day in Golf History: June 29

Hawaiian legend Jackie Pung, who died in March 2017 at age 95, had an incredible career as a golf champion and ambassador but will foremost be known for the scoring mistake that took place on this date in 1957 in the final round of the U.S. Women's Open at Winged Foot. At the end of play, everyone thought Pung had beaten Betsy Rawls by a shot with a six-over 298. But the wrong score was recorded on Pung's scorecard on the fourth hole by her fellow competitor, Betty Jameson, who had put down a 5 instead of the 6 she really had. The rules called for Pung to be disqualified for turning in a lower score on the fourth hole than she actually shot, and Rawls was declared the winner with 299.
