The 1950 U.S. Open was the 50th U.S. Open. The golf tournament was held June 8–11, 1950, at Merion Golf Club in Ardmore, Pennsylvania, a suburb northwest of Philadelphia. In what became known as the "Miracle at Merion," Ben Hogan won his second U.S. Open in an 18-hole playoff over Lloyd Mangrum and George Fazio, just 16 months after being severely injured in an automobile accident.
