The Story of the Cherry Hills Three
------------------------------------------------------------

At the 1960 U.S. Open at Cherry Hills (Colorado), Mike Souchak looked like a very possible winner going into the final day of play. Arnold Palmer, who had won the Masters earlier that year, was seven strokes back. He then set the course ablaze, shooting a 65 to win the tournament, or so he thought. There was an amateur on the course who had yet to play the back nine, and Don Cherry, who was well-known as both a top-flight amateur golfer and a singer/recording artist with bandleaders like Tommy Dorsey, actually had a chance to catch Palmer.

Cherry ultimately did not get there, finishing with a final round of 72, and Palmer was able to preserve a two-stroke victory over 20-year-old amateur Jack Nicklaus, for whom the Cherry Hills event was something of a coming-out party. The sentimental element was provided by 48-year-old Ben Hogan, years past his prime, who had surged into contention with a third-round 69 and was charging down the stretch until he hit it into the water at 17. Hogan had a few top ten finishes in majors after that, but he would never be so close to the lead so late again. As for Palmer, who, as author John Feinstein aptly put it, was the "most important player in the history of the game," it was his first and only U.S. Open win.

Casper's great comeback
----------------------------------------------

At the 1966 U.S. Open at The Olympic Club in San Francisco, no one was going to catch the legendary Arnold Palmer, who led the tournament by seven strokes with just nine holes to play. What nobody has forecast, though, was that Palmer would completely crumble on the back nine, shooting seven-over par, while Billy Casper continued to make pars and force a playoff, which he won by four strokes. In effect, he had come back in the tournament without having to mount a "charge."

He was the picture of consistency; Casper, who was known as one of the greatest putters in the history of the game, did not three-putt once in the entire tournament.

Johnny Miller's record-setting round
--------------------------------------------------------------

Johnny Miller's talent was well-known for some time; he had finished eighth in the U.S. Open as early as 1966, when he was a 19-year-old amateur, and it didn't hurt that the tournament was held at his home course (The Olympic Club in San Francisco).

He later was the runner-up at the 1971 Masters, but he had only two PGA wins to his credit when he got to Oakmont in 1973. Miller imploded in the third round, shooting a 76, and had forgotten his yardage book at the house he was renting while in town for the tournament. He was six behind the lead going into Sunday, but then destroyed the Oakmont course with a 63, hitting all 18 greens in regulation. He was one of only five players to shoot under par on the final round, and it was good enough to win the title. At that point, it was the lowest single round in the history of the U.S. Open, and shared that record right up until this week, when Rickie Fowler and Xander Schauffele both came out of the gate smoking, with 62s in the first round.
