Hogan's 1-iron all but extinct in major play Ben Hogan's 1-iron is shown at the U.S. Open golf tournament at Merion Golf Club, Wednesday, June 12, 2013, in Ardmore, Pa. Good luck finding a player who even carries a 1-iron. And the shot Hogan hit in 1950 at Merion, which the USGA estimates to be 213 yards, is no longer a 1-iron.
