Do you know the last time an amateur was able to win the U.S. Open Golf Tournament? It last happened in 1933 when amateur Johnny Goodman beat all the pros and won the Open that year.

Jol- ley turned to get the re- bound off the wall, but the ball went back through his legs again, for error number two. Then.he finally got hold of -the ball, but he threw it wild into the stands'for his third er- ror on the same playl.
