Horace Rawlins, winner of the first U.S. Open in 1895

The U.S. Open is an annual golf competition established in 1895, with Horace Rawlins winning the inaugural championship.[1] The championship was not held from 1917 to 1918 and from 1942 to 1945 due to the First World War and Second World War respectively.

The U.S. Open is the second of the four major championships to be played each year. 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, and earn a ten year exemption from qualifying for the U.S. Open. They also receive membership on the PGA Tour for the following five seasons and invitations to the Players Championship for the five years following their victory.[2] The champion receives a gold champion's medal, and the U.S. Open Championship Cup, which the winner is allowed to keep for a year.[3]

Willie Anderson, Bobby Jones, Ben Hogan and Jack Nicklaus hold the record for the most U.S. Open victories, with four victories each.[4] Anderson holds the record for most consecutive wins with three (1903-05). Hale Irwin is the oldest winner of the U.S. Open: he was 45 years 15 days old when he won in 1990.[5] The youngest winner of the U.S. Open is John McDermott who was 19 years 315 days old when he won in 1911.[5] Jack Nicklaus, Lee Janzen, Tiger Woods and Jim Furyk hold the record for the lowest score over 72 hole, which is 272. Tiger Woods holds the distinction of being the most strokes under par for 72 holes, he was 12 strokes under par (-12) when he won in 2000.[6]
