This Day in Golf--Sept. 18

The U.S. Amateur was a regular September event until 1986 when it became a regular August championship. The last time the U.S. Am finished on September 18 was in 1965 when Bob Murphy shot 291 to edge Bob Dickson by a shot at Southern Hills Country Club in Tulsa. (Two years later, Dickson would win by a shot over Vinny Giles.)
