Is there any doubt that Winged Foot (West course) is the toughest golf course in America?
Bobby Jones won the US Open there in 1929, with a score of +6.
Billy Casper won the US Open in 1959, with a score of +2.
Hale Irwin won the "Massacre at Winged Foot" US Open in 1974 with a score of +7.
And now Ogilvy wins the US Open in 2006 at +5.
Considering that I would probably shoot a 125 at an easy golf course, I shudder to think of how many shots I would take at Winged Foot. 300? Its possible.
In the interests of full disclosure, Fuzzy Zoeller won the US Open at Winged Foot in 1984 with a -4.
I'm not sure how he managed to do that. Did they cut the rough shorter that week or something??
The course won the US Open in 2006. Oglivy just gets the trophy and the check. ;)
