On this day in 1970, Jack Nicklaus won the British Open on the Old Course at St. Andrews, beating Doug Sanders in a playoff. The win was set up with the Golden Bear’s tremendous tee shot that ran through the back of the green on the 358-yard 18th hole. After his chip and winning putt, Nicklaus, in a spontaneous show of emotion, tossed his putter high in the air—something he did only once in his glittering career. It was Jack’s first win at St. Andrews, the anointed home of golf. “In short, the modern British Open not only is firmly entrenched as one of golf’s four major championships, but serves simultaneously as a celebration of the game’s history, its most massive gathering of fans, and a huge week-long trade fair. That’s a pretty zesty mix, and there’s nothing else even a little bit like it in golf,” explains Nicklaus.

Congratulations to Laura Davies on being named a Dame in the Queen's Birthday Honours List!
“It really is the greatest honour I have received in my career and what makes it even more special is that it is an honour that transcends golf. I was very proud when I received the letter in May and it has been really difficult keeping it a secret from my friends since then.
“I am sure there will be a fair bit of teasing from my close friends at home and on Tour but I think they will be pleased, not only for me but also because it is a nice recognition for women’s golf. I am really looking forward to going to Buckingham Palace and sharing this occasion with my family and friends who have all played such a big part in my career. I’ve already been asked if I will now be too posh to play football and the answer is definitely not!”

This Week in Hogan History
In 1941 in one of Golf's upsets Ben finishes T-3 with Johnny Bulla, earning $650.00, five strokes behind the winner, Craig Wood and two strokes behind second place, Denny Shute at the US Open held at Colonial Country Club. It was Ben's home course and everyone expected him to win his first major. Even though Craig Wood won the Masters earlier that year and Denny Shute was a 3-time major champion, nobody expected them to finish ahead of Hogan. Interesting side note - it was not first time Wood/Shute finished 1st and 2nd in a major, in 1933 Craig Wood lost in a playoff to Denny Shute at the British Open.

In 1946 Ben finished T-22nd at the Philadelphia Inquirer Open at the Llanerch Country Club, a tournament that was held from 1944 – 1949. Fred Byrod was the Philadelphia Inquirer employee who acted as tournament promoter and liaison with the PGA. When Hogan won the U.S. Open at Merion GC in 1950 having played 90 holes in four days, Hogan informed the press that he was too exhausted for interviews. After some prodding he relented and said that he would grant an interview but only if it was conducted with Fred Byrod.

In 1948 Ben won his fourth major and second US Open (We, of course, count the 1942 US Open, aka the Hale America Open as his first) at the Riviera Country Club in Los Angeles by two strokes over his friend Jimmy Demaret.

In 1950 Ben Hogan won a three way playoff against Lloyd Mangrum and George Fazio to capture his fourth major and third US Open (We, of course, count the 1942 US Open, aka the Hale America Open as his first) at the Merion Cricket Club in Ardmore Pennsylvania by four strokes over Mangrum and six strokes over Fazio and earned $4,000.00. While practicing at the Merion Cricket Club for the upcoming US Open, Ben hits his second shot from a drive down the middle of the fairway then says to his caddie “Carefully replace the divot, son, because I plan to be here every round.” Also in 1950, while practicing at Merion for the US Open, Hogan adding the one-iron to his bag while taking out the seven-iron because as Hogan was quoted from an interview with golf writer Charles Price, the founding editor of Golf Magazine “there are no seven-iron shots at Merion”.

In 1951 Ben won his seventh major and fourth US Open (We, of course, count the 1942 US Open, aka the Hale America Open as his first) at Oakland Hills Country Club in Birmingham Michigan by two strokes over Clayton Heafner. This was his second consecutive U.S. Open title and his third title in his last three attempts (he missed the 1949 US Open due to his automobile accident). While practicing at Oakland Hills Country Club for the upcoming US Open Ben said to Dan Jenkins about a punched choked down 3-iron of 155 yards, “I need it at Oakland Hills”.

In 1953 Ben won his ninth major and fifth US Open (We, of course, count the 1942 US Open, aka the Hale America Open as his first) at Oakmont Country Club in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania by six strokes over Sam Snead.

In 1960 Ben finishes T-2 with Gene Littler earning $2,500.00 behind Tommy Bolt in a three-way 18 hole playoff at the Memphis Open. In the playoff, Tommy Bolt shot a 68 to Hogan’s 69 and Littler’s 71. Hogan and Bolt were tied through 16 holes, but on the 17th hole Bolt stiffed a 2- iron at the par-3. In the interview after the tournament Bolt was quoted as saying, “When Ben said ‘Nice shot!’ it was like a double clap of thunder to me. It was the only thing he said to me all day.”

Pictured is Ben Hogan joking with Tommy Bolt after the 1960 Memphis Open.
