On the 18th fairway, some 200-yards from the hole, a plaque reads: How special was Hogan’s shot? It could be the only shot in golf that has its own historical marker from the spot it happened. “I don't know if makes that shot much more special or if his shot made a little more special.” “When you think of Ben Hogan, you just think of the swing and you think of the mystique and the aura that the man had,” 2011 U.S. Would that great photo of Hogan and his 1-iron shot to the green have been as iconic if he didn’t make his putt to tie the tournament and win the 18-hole tiebreaker the next day? “He still had to go out and win it the next day.” “It’s a great photo, but it would have been an all right photo if he didn’t win,” Tiger Woods said during his pre-tournament press conference on Tuesday at Merion East. More importantly, that photo, as well as the type of club Hogan used to hit that dramatic shot, is fresh in the mind of the golfers set to tackle Merion this week. It’s emblazoned on the official program and other USGA publications and merchandise. Open returns to Merion for the first time in 32 years. That photograph will be shown a lot this week as the U.S. The right foot matches Hogan’s body as the follow through of the club is turned in a perfect sweep behind his head.Īnyone who ever attempted to play golf has copied Hogan’s pure, flawless swing direct from Hy Peskin’s picture. His lead left foot is perfectly planted and his torso is spun around to face his target. There’s Hogan from behind, a little more than a year removed from a nearly fatal car accident, in a white snap-brim cap. It’s a black-and-white shot of Ben Hogan at the 18th hole of the Merion Golf Club, following through on the 1-iron that he planted on the green before burying a putt to force a playoff at the 1950 U.S. It’s the most iconic photograph in golf’s history and one of the most famous pictures in all of sports.
