This Day in Golf History: June 22

On this date in 1963, Arnold Palmer shot 77-74 in the final rounds to fall into three-way U.S. Open playoff, and in 1975, he shot a final-round 73 in U.S. Open to finish T-9 in his final top-10 in the championship.  On this day in 2009, Lucas Glover won the U.S. Open at Bethpage Black G.Cse. at four under par, two ahead of Ricky Barnes, Phil Mickelson and David Duval. Rain forced having a Monday finish. It was one of Mickelson’s record six runner-up U.S. Open finishes. The Ryder Cup will be held at Bethpage this fall.
