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

Rickie Fowler is still in the mix at the halfway point of the U.S. Open being played at Shinnecock Hills on Long Island. He has a hard road to chase down Dustin Johnson for 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.
