1935 Golf Illustrated Magazine With Sam Parks Jr. On Cover - June
Sam Parks, born in Bellevue, Pennsylvania, used his knowledge of the nearby Oakmont Country Club to win the 1935 United States Open at age 25. Parks was the only player to negotiate Oakmont's furrowed bunkers and shaved greens in less than 300. After winning the US Open, Parks played for the US Ryder Cup team, matched against Alf Perry (the reigning British Open champion), the first time the US Open champion would play the British Open Champion of the same year in a Ryder Cup match. During that event, at the 36th hole, Parks made a 30-foot birdie putt to win the hole and tie the match, so that both he and the British champ remained undefeated in Ryder Cup play.
