Designer Rees Jones sculpts golf courses to be U.S. Open-worthy
Rees Jones was 9 when he went to his first U.S Open in 1950 at Merion Golf Course. He was there as a fan, tagging along with his father, legendary course designer Robert Trent Jones. Rees got a glimpse into his own future. "I was standing behind Ben Hogan when he was handed the trophy, which got me on the newsreels," Rees said. "I went to the movies every day for a week so I could see myself." (09/06) MoreYou may also like
