From the U.S. Open
More from the championship
At the 1959 U.S. Open, Billy Casper deliberately laid up on Winged Foot’s long par-3 third hole in every round. He made par all four times and won the championship.
Johnny Miller began the final round of the 1973 U.S. Open six strokes behind. He hit all 18 greens in regulation, shot 63, and won by one.
