US Opens at Olympic club are known for picking the wrong champion. Choose for yourself. Olympic Club winners are as follows
1955 – Jack Fleck * (unknown beating venerable 4 time champion Hogan)
1966 – Billy Casper (Beating Arnold Palmer)
1987 – Scott Simpson (beating Tom Watson)
1998 – Lee Janzen (over Payne Stewart)
2012 – Matt Kuchar (over Tiger Woods) (speculative 🙂 )
* Incidentally, In Arnold Palmer’s only US Open championship in 1960, Fleck was in the hunt before finally finishing third behind Palmer and an amateur named Jack Nicklaus.
