It first happened in 1909, when Robert A. Gardner, Charles Evans Jr. and Thomas M. Sherman tied for medalist honors with a 36-hole total of 151 at Chicago Golf Club (Gardner went on to win). It happened again in 1919, when S. Davidson Herron, J.B. Manion and Paul Tewkesbury tied with a total of 158 over two rounds at Oakmont Country Club (Herron went on to win). The third occurrence came 12 years later in 1931, when Arthur Yates, Charles H. Seaver, and John E. Lehman tied at 148 at Beverly Country Club in Chicago. The eventual winner that week was Francis Ouimet, who had previously won the 1913 U.S. Open as an amateur at Brookline, and the 1914 U.S. Amateur at Ekwanok Country Club in Vermont.
