On the 18th green he sank an 11-ft. putt ("It seemed like the longest I ever made") to tie Jimmy Demaret; next day, in the playoff, Hogan won by two strokes.

His score of 276 chopped five strokes off the U.S. Open record (Ralph Guldahl's 281 at Michigan's Oakland Hills Country Club eleven years ago). The runner-up: fancy-pants Jimmy Demaret, last year's top money winner...
