“His win encouraged all golfers, especially in America, and helped change the sport’s perception,” Tiger Woods said. Woods, a three-time winner of the U.S. Amateur, also acknowledged Ouimet’s accomplishments in that tournament, which Ouimet always maintained gave him more satisfaction than his Open win.

Eddie Lowery

Ouimet died in Newton, Massachusetts, on September 2, 1967, at age 74.

Brookline Country Club

Francis Ouimet was enlisted in the U.S Army during the First World War. On September 11, 1918, he married his wife Stella M. Sullivan and together had two children, Barbara McLean, and Janice Salvi.

The 1913 U.S. Open was the 19th U.S. Open, held September 18–20 at The Country Club in Brookline, Massachusetts, a suburb southwest of Boston. Amateur Francis Ouimet, age 20, won his only U.S. Open title in an 18-hole playoff, five strokes ahead of Britons Harry Vardon and Ted Ray.

Willie Anderson, Bobby Jones, Ben Hogan and Jack Nicklaus hold the record for the most U.S. Open victories, with four victories each. Anderson holds the record for most consecutive wins with three (1903–05). Hale Irwin is the oldest winner of the U.S. Open: he was 45 years and 15 days old when he won in 1990.

He became a multi-millionaire as an auto dealer in San Francisco. Lowery and Bob Hope were friends and they both played in the 1951 British Amateur. His sponsorship of Harvie Ward led to problems, because Lowery had claimed certain disallowable business expenses for tax write-offs.

History was made when fullback Alan Ameche punched through the line on a one-yard, game-winning touchdown after 8 minutes and 15 seconds of overtime to give the Colts a 23-17 win and the NFL title!

The Greatest Game Ever Played is a 2005 American biographical sports film based on the early life of golf champion Francis Ouimet. The film was directed by Bill Paxton, and was his last film as a director. Shia LaBeouf plays the role of Ouimet.

The best score for one round of golf in a PGA Tour tournament is 58. That score has been posted only once so far, and it was by Jim Furyk. Furyk’s all-time record round of 58 happened in the final round of the 2016 Travelers Championship at TPC River Highlands in Connecticut.
