1946 US Open Wire Photos: Mangrum with Nelson and Ghezzi & Course During Tournament
Here we have two 8" x 10" wire photographs from the 1946 US Open. With movie star good looks Lloyd Mangrum ruled the tour in its first Golden Age, along with Jimmy Demaret, Ben Hogan and Byron Nelson. In 1946 at Canterbury outside Cleveland Ohio, Lloyd shot 74-77-68-72=284 for a score of -4 which put him in a three way playoff with Vic Ghezzi and Byron Nelson. The threesome tied in the first playoff round and played a second one in which Lloyd beat Vic and Byron by one shot to win this Championship and a check for $1500. The first photo shows Mangrum with the runners up Nelson and Ghezzi, and the second photo is an aerial shot of the course during the tournament.
