Two of the most stunning finishes in the history of the U.S. Open occurred at The Olympic Club. The first was in 1955 when Jack Fleck, a little known club professional, tied Ben Hogan in the final round and then defeated him in a playoff. Another playoff decided the 1966 Open, as Billy Casper overcame Arnold Palmer. The 18th hole, at only 347 yards, is deceptively difficult. Its amphitheater-like setting just below the clubhouse makes it one of the finest viewing holes anywhere.
