U.S. Open
Runner-up: Clayton Heafner
Ben Hogan won at Oakland Hills which had been redesigned by Robert Trent Jones to make it nearly unplayable. Only two players broke par all week. After his final-round 67, Hogan famously said "I am glad I brought this course, this monster, to its knees." The most celebrated quote in US Open history.
