FILE - In this June 19, 1955, file photo, Jack Fleck, of Davenport, La., poses with his championship trophy after beating Ben Hogan, right, by three strokes in an 18 hole playoff in the U.S. Open golf tournament at the Olympic Club, Lake Course, in San Francisco, Calif. Isaac Grainer, president of the U.S. Golf Association, looks on at left. Ben Hogan appeared to have won his record-setting fifth U.S. Open when he closed with a 70 at The Olympic Club in 1955. NBC went off the air and proclaimed him the winner. Still on the golf course was Jack Fleck, a little-known club pro from Iowa who could hit it straight and had figured out his putting. He made the birdie for a 67 that allowed him to catch Hogan and force an 18-hole playoff. (AP Photo/File)
