The 1960 U.S. Open Golf Championship played at Cherry Hills Country Club in Denver, Colorado, remains perhaps the most dramatic, competitive, and passionate of all Open championships. In 1960
the Young Lions of the game were eager to reach the top tier occupied by venerable players such as Ben Hogan and Sam Snead. In this Open only a single stroke separated the three leaders羅Ben
Hogan, Arnold Palmer, and a young but talented amateur named Jack Nicklaus羅on the final two holes. The stunning conclusion would prove a watershed in the lives of all three players and in the
game itself. Golfs Greatest Championship is a suspenseful, richly detailed chronicle of this epic chapter in the game of golf.
