Gene Littler holds the trophy after winning the 1961 U.S. Open at Oakland Hills.
On February 15, 2019, Gene Littler, aka “Gene the Machine,” passed away in San Diego at age 88. Famous for his smooth swing, Littler turned pro in 1954, winning his first professional title a year later. He amassed 29 PGA Tour and eight PGA Tour Champions titles in his pro career. But Littler’s greatest moment came in 1961 when he won the U.S. Open by one stroke over Doug Sanders and Bob Goalby. Littler was inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame in 1990.
