U.S. Open
Runner-up: Ben Hogan
Jack Fleck, a virtually unknown club professional from Iowa, pulled off one of the greatest upsets in sports history by defeating Ben Hogan in an 18-hole playoff. Hogan had already accepted congratulations as the presumed champion. Fleck shot 69 to Hogan's 72 in the playoff. Hogan never won another major.
