SAN FRANCISCO – Love a good underdog story? Looking at Olympic Club’s history, that may be the only story it knows how to tell.
The Olympic Club hosts a women’s major championship for the first time as it welcomes the U.S Women’s Open. But the club is no stranger to major championship glory, or heartbreak, as it has seen its share of surprises and upsets.
It might have seemed like a fluke at first, when Jack Fleck beat Ben Hogan by three strokes to win in a playoff in the 1955 U.S. Open, in an upset for the ages.
