Three doors up from my house a soon-to-retire couple moved in and I remember my mom telling me he had been a golf champion. Other than the U. S. Open I don't think he ever won anything else and went on to work for US Steel in the business world. When he retired he moved away and STILL owes me $2.64 !!! Can you name him?? ( My parents made me write him a letter in the hopes the postal service would forward it, but never heard from him again!) The winner of the 1935 U.S. Open at Oakmont shot 299. Legend has it that he was the greatest 75-shooter of all time. Hard courses, easy courses...made no difference. He would always shoot the same number: 75. In 1935 at Oakmont, 4 days of 75 took home the prize. And that prize went to: Sam Parks, Jr. __________________ Yoda Yoda View Public Profile Send a private message to Yoda Visit Yoda's homepage!
