Ken Venturi 1964 US Open Win with Trophy Photo

Contested at Congressional Country Club just outside Washington D.C., the final 36 holes were contested, in one day, under 100-degree heat and stifling humidity contributing to a case of dehydration for Venturi. Said conditions were so severe that between 18 hole rounds, with a fear of fatal heat stroke, he was placed under the care of a doctor who advised that he withdraw from the final round. Somehow Venturi prevailed over the challenging conditions, an extremely tough course (the longest setup to that date in U.S.G.A play), and the finest players in the world shooting an incredible 70 for a four shot victory.
