This Day in Golf History: June 14

On this date in 1952, Julius Boros won his first U.S. Open at Northwood Golf Club in Dallas. He would win again in 1963 and win the PGA in 1968. On this date in 1959, Bill Casper won the U.S. Open for the first time, at Winged Foot Golf Club, edging Bob Rosburg by one shot. One of the game’s great putters, Casper famously played the West Course’s par-3 third hole by laying up off the tee in the hole’s narrow opening to the green and got up and down for par all four rounds.
