Of course we know that second to last picture as the greatest photo ever taken in golf.

I was just thinking the same thing... as, I made that photo my desktop background for this weekend. Isn't that picture from a US Open, the year just after Hogan's accident? It is, simply, a fantastic photograph.

That photo was shot on the Friday round at the 1960 US Open at Cherry Hills in Denver.

HBO did a documentary on it that was really well done.

As I wasn’t born yet, I have no personal recollections of course, but you had Arnie, Jack and Bobby all in contention late in the day on Saturday’s final round(remember they didn’t play tourneys on Sundays back in the day). Jones faded, the 20 year old Jack missed a 1 foot putt on 13 cause he didn’t fix the ball mark and Arnie ended up winning.

GREAT STUFF INDEED

It's from the US Open held at Merion CC outside Philadelphia in 1950.
