Golfing legend Ben Hogan went to his grave believing he had won a
record five US Open titles. The USGA says otherwise, and the
controversy has endured for over 75 years. In 1942, the United
States Golf Association (USGA) cancelled its four golf tournaments
for the duration of World War II. But then it did something
different in only that year-it sponsored the Hale-America National
Open on the same weekend as the cancelled US Open. The great Ben
Hogan won that tournament and went to his grave believing he had
therefore won a record five US Open titles. In The Open Question,
Peter May turns his attention to this controversial, colorful
Hale-America National Open of 1942. While providing an in-depth
look at the tournament itself, May champions Hogan's claim to five
US Open titles and debunks some questionable assertions that the
tournament was not worthy of a US Open. Set against the backdrop of
World War II, May also tells the stories of other professional
golfers in the tournament and the impact of the war on all their
lives. The USGA has never recognized the Hale-America Tournament as
an official US Open and remains firm in its stance. It was a
decision that bothered Ben Hogan for the rest of his life. The Open
Question shows how dominant Ben Hogan was against some of the
biggest names in golf, and reveals why he deserves to be recognized
as a five-time US Open winner.
