| Throughout its existence, Olympia Fields has been the Host to Champions. Its rolling fairways have accepted the shots of legends like Bobby Jones, Sam Snead, Ben Hogan, Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus. Olympia Fields Country Club hosted the U.S. Open in 1928, with club pro Johnny Farrell beating Bobby Jones in a playoff. OFCC was also the scene of two PGA tournaments. In 1925 Walter Hagan won the PGA and Jerry Barber conquered the field in 1961. Prior to WWII, the Western Open was considered a major and has been held at OFCC on five separate occasions; the great winners, Jock Hutchison in 1920, Walter Hagen in 1927, 1933 Macdonald Smith, 1968 Jack Nicklaus, and in 1971, Bruce Crampton. In 1997, Graham Marsh won the U.S. Senior Open with a score of even par 280. |
