'I get paid nothing to stand here and do this all day...'On this day, in 1959, Billy Casper won the Portland Open. The Portland title was only one 51 Casper would amass on his way to becoming probably one of the most criminally under-rated golf figures of his day. Also on this day, in 1895, the very first US Open Championship was held, on a nine-hole layout in Newport, RI. It was won by the Isle of Wight’s very own Horace Rawlins, aged 21, over 36 holes on the same day.
