Death on the 15th Green headlines a grim U S Open scare
A prank phone call warned the FBI of an assassination plot against Hubert Green during the final round at Southern Hills. USGA officials, security chiefs, and police prepared as Green continued play, with ABC TV screening the gallery. No incident occurred. The episode reflects a society desensitized to violence and spectacle.
