1936 U.S. Open Winner and Scores
The 1936 U.S. Open was the 40th time the tournament was played. A great final round by a little-known golfer won the trophy.
Winner: Tony Manero, 282
Where it was played: Baltusrol Golf Club in Springfield, New Jersey
Tournament dates: June 4-6, 1936
Leader after first round: Ray Mangrum, Paul Runyan and Clarence Clark, 69
Leader after second round: Ray Mangrum and Vic Ghezzi, 140
Leader after third round: Harry Cooper, 211
Notable Notes: Little-known today, Tony Manero won his only major by two strokes over Harry Cooper. Cooper was the third-round leader, and led Manero by four entering the final round. But while Cooper had a respectable 73 in Round 4, Manero carded a superb 67. Manero's 284 total was a new tournament scoring record, but it stood for only one year.
