The Golden Years of Hogan are certainly easier for me o remember than more recent events. Like when Steve Flesch won. Or Olin Browne. Or David Frost. Or Fulton Allem. Or Tim Herron. Or that fateful interlude when if it wasn’t Keith Clearwater, it was Ian Baker-Finch. One hit wonders occasionally add a touch of charm to an annual golf event , but not when they come in droves. For those of you who cut too many history classes, the Hogan years started with the first Colonial in 1946, and it didn’t hurt a thing that Ben won the inaugural with a shocking course-record 65 in the final round.
