This Day in Golf History: June 12

One of the U.S. Open championships that concluded on this date was Byron Nelson’s 36-hole playoff victory over Craig Wood and Denny Shute at Philadelphia Cricket Club. Another U.S. Open, in 1959, was when Billy Casper tied for the best score of the day, a two-under-par 68, to take the second-round lead at Winged Foot in the U.S. Open.
