Summary

"This book provides the first in-depth look at the controversial Hale-America National Open, won by Ben Hogan in 1942 against the backdrop of the wartime home front. Peter May champions Hogan's claim that it should have counted as an official US Open, which would have given him a record five US Open titles"--, Provided by publisher
