The 1950 US Open produced what has been called the most-reproduced photograph in golf history - Ben Hogan's 1 iron shot on the 72nd hole at Merion. This was Hogan's first US Open since returning from his near fatal car crash, so the entire golf world was cheering him to victory. For all of the times you've seen that iconic image of Hogan and his 1 iron, how many programs from the 1950 US Open have you seen? Simply put, the 1950 US Open program is exceedingly hard to find.
