The annual open U.S. national golf championship is the United States Open Championship, also referred to as the U.S. Open. It is the third of golf's four major and is on the PGA Tour and European Tour's official schedules.
Since 1898, the competition has consisted of four rounds of 72 holes of stroke play, with the winner being the player with the fewest total strokes.
The United States Golf Association (USGA) hosts it in mid-June, with the final round set to take place on the third Sunday if there are no weather delays. The U.S. Open is played on a variety of courses that are designed to make scoring very challenging.
US Open 2023 History
On October 4, 1895, a nine-hole course at the Newport Country Club in Newport, Rhode Island, hosted the inaugural U.S. Open. A 36-hole championship took place in a single day. One amateur and ten professionals participated.
Horace Rawlins, a 21-year-old Englishman who had moved to the United States earlier that year to start working at the host club, won the competition. Out of a $335 prize pool, he received $150 cash in addition to a $50 gold medal, and his club was given the Open Championship Cup trophy by the USGA.
Before 1911, when John J. McDermott became the first American to win the competition, it was dominated by seasoned British players. Soon after, American golfers started to consistently win, and the tournament developed into one of the four majors.
Players from the United States have dominated the championship since 1911. Only six nations other than the United States have had players win the championship since 1950, most notably South Africa, which has done so five times since 1965.
For the first time since 1910, there were four non-American winners in a row from 2004 to 2007. These four players, Argentine Angel Cabrera (2007), Australian Geoff Ogilvy (2006), South African Retief Goosen (2004), and New Zealander Michael Campbell (2005), are all from nations in the Southern Hemisphere.
