U.S. Open (golf)
Encyclopedia
The United States Open Championship, commonly known as the U.S. Open, is the annual open golf tournament of the United States. It is the second of the four major championships
in golf, and is on the official schedule of both the PGA Tour
and the European Tour
. It is staged by the United States Golf Association
(USGA) in mid-June, scheduled so that, if there are no weather delays, the final round is played on the third Sunday, which is Father's Day
.
The U.S. Open is staged at a variety of courses, set up in such a way that scoring is very difficult with a premium placed on accurate driving. U.S. Open play is characterized by tight scoring at or around par by the leaders, with the winner usually emerging at around even par. A U.S. Open course is seldom beaten severely, and there have been many over-par wins (in part because par is usually set at 70 except for the very longest courses). Normally, an Open course is quite long and will have a high cut of primary rough (termed "Open rough" by the American press and fans), undulating greens (such as at Pinehurst No. 2
in 2005, which was described by Johnny Miller
of NBC
as "like trying to hit a ball on top of a VW Beetle"), and pinched fairways (especially on what are expected to be less difficult holes). Some courses that are attempting to get into the rotation for the U.S. Open will undergo renovations to develop these features. Rees Jones
is the most notable of the "Open Doctors" who take on these projects; his father Robert Trent Jones
had filled that role earlier. As with any professional golf tournament, the available space surrounding the course (for spectators, among other considerations) and local infrastructure also factor into deciding which courses will host the event.
The U.S. Open is the only one of the four major championships which does not go immediately to a playoff if two or more players are tied at the end of the four rounds. Instead, the players play a fifth 18-hole round the following day (Monday), but if a tie still exists after that round, then a sudden-death playoff is held. Only three times has the U.S. Open gone to sudden-death after the playoff round, most recently in 2008 when Tiger Woods
defeated Rocco Mediate
on the first additional playoff hole.
Coverage of The U.S. Open is broadcasted on television by NBC
and ESPN
, with additional online coverage of a marquee group provided by ESPN via the U.S. Open's official website. Of golf's broadcast television partners in the U.S., NBC is the only one to provide four days of major tournament coverage (CBS
, which airs the Masters and the PGA Championship, only provides weekend coverage of its tournaments; starting in 2010, the Open Championship will not be aired live on an over-the-air network at all, with all four rounds airing on ESPN and only edited highlights screened by ABC).
in Newport, Rhode Island
. It was a 36-hole competition and was played in a single day. Ten professionals and one amateur entered. The winner was a 21-year-old Englishman named Horace Rawlins
, who had arrived in the U.S. in January that year to take up a position at the host club. He received $150 cash out of a prize fund of $335, plus a $50 gold medal; his club received the Open Championship Cup trophy, which was presented by the USGA.
In the beginning, the tournament was dominated by experienced British players until 1911, when John J. McDermott
became the first native-born American winner. American golfers soon began to win regularly and the tournament evolved to become one of the four majors
.
Since 1911, the title has been won almost exclusively by players from the United States. Since 1950, players from only six countries other than the United States have won the championship, most notably South Africa
, which has won five times since 1965. A streak of four consecutive non-American winners occurred from 2004 to 2007 for the first time since 1910. These four players, South African Retief Goosen
(2004), New Zealand
er Michael Campbell
(2005), Australia
n Geoff Ogilvy
(2006) and Argentine
Ángel Cabrera
(2007), are all from countries in the Southern Hemisphere
. Northern Ireland's Graeme McDowell
(2010) became the first European player to win the event since Tony Jacklin
of England in 1970.
About half of the field is made up of players who are fully exempt from qualifying. As of the next U.S. Open in 2012, there will be 11 full exemption categories:
Before 2011, the sole OWGR cutoff for entry was the top 50 as of two weeks before the tournament. An exemption category for the top 50 as of the tournament date was added for 2011, apparently in response to the phenomenon of golfers entering the top 50 between the original cutoff date and the tournament (such as Justin Rose
and Rickie Fowler
in 2010).
Through 2011, exemptions existed for leading money winners on the PGA, European, Japanese, and Australasian tours, as well as winners of multiple PGA Tour events in the year before the U.S. Open. These categories were eliminated in favor of inviting the top 60 on the OWGR at both relevant dates.
Potential competitors who are not fully exempt must enter the Qualifying process, which has two stages. Firstly there is Local Qualifying, which is played over 18 holes at more than 100 courses around the United States. Many leading players are exempt from this first stage, and they join the successful local qualifiers at the Sectional Qualifying stage, which is played over 36 holes in one day at several sites in the U.S., as well as one each in Europe
and Japan
. There is no lower age limit and the youngest-ever qualifier was 15-year-old Tadd Fujikawa
of Hawaii
, who qualified in 2006.
The purse at the 2011 U.S. Open was $7.85 million, and the winner's share was $1.44 million. The PGA European Tour
uses conversion rates at the time of the tournament to calculate the official prize money used in their Race to Dubai (€5,574,524 in 2011). In line with the other majors, winning the U.S. Open gives a golfer several privileges that make his career much more secure if he is not already one of the elite players of the sport. U.S. Open champions are automatically invited to play in the other three majors (the Masters, the Open Championship
(British Open), and the PGA Championship
) for the next five years, as well as the Players Championship
, and they are exempt from qualifying for the U.S. Open itself for 10 years. They may also receive a five-year exemption on the PGA Tour, which is automatic for regular members. Non-PGA Tour members who win the U.S. Open have the choice of joining the PGA Tour either within 60 days of winning, or prior to the beginning of any one of the next five tour seasons. Finally, U.S. Open winners receive automatic invitations to three of the five senior majors
once they turn 50; they receive a five-year invitation to the U.S. Senior Open
and a lifetime invitation to the Senior PGA Championship
and Senior British Open
.
The top 10 finishers at the U.S. Open are fully exempt from qualifying for the following year's Open, and the top eight are automatically invited to the following season's Masters.
