This Day in U.S. Open Golf--June 12

World Golf Hall of Fame member and onetime U.S. President George H.W. Bush was born on this date in 1924. He shares a birthday with a famous lass from the Quad Cities, Illinois, USA, Mary Schrock. On the golf course, Ben Hogan won his first of four U.S. Opens, at Riviera in Los Angeles, on June 12, 1948, by two shots over Jimmy Demaret.
