Photo gallery: Johnny Goodman, last amateur to win the U.S. OpenAfter a hot start to his final round which included an eagle and a birdie in his first three holes Goodman struggled to a 4-over 76. But when Guldhal missed a 4-foot par putt on his final hole to force a playoff, Goodman was the lone man in the red, at 1 under par.Goodman was born Dec. 28, 1909 in Omaha, Neb., where he started in the game by caddying to earn money, following the death of his mother and his fathers subsequent abandonment.He eventually became a standout player in the area and defeated Bobby Jones in the first round of match play in the 1929 U.S. Amateur at Pebble Beach. Goodman would win the amateur in 1937 and was on the victorious U.S. Walker Cup teams in 1934 and '36.Goodman earned a living by selling insurance and served in the U.S. Army in World War II. He died in 1970, at age 60.
"It was certainly lucky," Spieth conceded of his unlikely birdie in the playoff. "[Berger] will give me crap about the break off the tee and the bunker shot going forward. I fully expect it and fully deserve it. I guess I won it in style, but didn't win it the proper way for competing against a buddy."
