106 years ago on August 13, 1920 Ted Ray won the 1920 US Open at the Inverness Club.
Not to take any credit from Ted Ray, but a 50 year old Harry Vardon had a 5 stroke lead with 5 holes to play for the championship and seemed to be a sure thing to win his second U.S. Open in three tries.
Vardon three-putted the 14th hole
Three putted the 15th hole
Three putted the 16th hole
Hit the ball into a small creek on the 17th hole and proceeeded to card a double and finished T-2 losing by a stroke to Ted Ray!!!
It could be argued it was the greatest collapse in golf history.
Ted Ray was 43 years old at the time of the major and was the oldest champion until Raymond Floyd in 1986.

After Ted Ray won the U.S. Open in 1920 his home club Oxhey in Hertfordshire named him as an honorary member.
This was the first time any British golf club had admitted a professional golfer to its ranks and within months the home clubs of Vardon, Braid and Taylor followed suit.

I adore Inverness in Toledo, Ohio. They continue to tweak this no bull**** course into an evolving masterpiece you don't want to end. With its rolling greens and yellows against a blue sky this stern test of driver and irons is a Top Ten track for me.

We’ve been talking a lot about future U.S. Open venues and potential sites over the past week or two, and based on those chats, I’ve decided on this:
The @USGA should select Inverness Club as the host venue for the 2036 U.S. Open.
It’s has the history, it has the space, and with Andrew Green’s ongoing work on this Donald Ross classic, it has one of the best golf courses in the world. – at Toledo, OH

One of a few drummers our drummer Anton Fig would leave his kit to watch work when Foo Fighters appeared on Late Show. A true R&R giant. This is a very sad day. RIP.
Going through our archives tonight, looking for some images for our annual meeting next week…came across some of these cool pics of our old patio/terrace as well as the original grille (now Ted Ray Pub) @Inverness_Club @InvernessClubGS @USGA
