This Day in U.S. Open Golf--June 16

Rickie Fowler has the first-round lead after play opened at the 2017 U.S. Open at Erin Hills Thursday. He’s looking to win his first major. A player who went down in history as one of the greatest to never win a major, Harry Cooper, was involved in today’s U.S. Open moment. He was in good shape to win the 1927 championship at Oakmont but shot 77 in the final round on June 16 and then lost the next day to Tommy Armour, 76-79, in a playoff.
