Chet Sanok (1952) – Winged Foot

Chet Sanok became the first amateur to win the Met Open.  The 6’3”, 220 pound former caddie shot a final nine 34 to overcome Dick Mayer and Jim Turnesa.  In trouble on the par-5 17th hole, his 4-iron approach from under trees struck an overhanging limb, then caromed off the bank of the green and finished 15 feet from the hole.
