Snead recalls 1949 Open at Medinah in candid remarks
Sam Snead says he did not lose the 1949 U S Open by one stroke to Cary Middlecoff after three putting 17th hole. He cites missed chances on 14 16 and 7 plus a long wait before his second shot as key moments that could have changed the result. Snead, 63, is back at Medinah for the diamond anniversary Open while acknowledging he has never won the event and has finished second four times. He plans to walk the course in the run up to Thursday’s start despite sore feet from cart use.
