2023 CHAMPION

Wyndham Clark, 29, of Denver, Colo., posted a one-stroke victory over world No. 3 Rory McIlroy to win the U.S. Open at The Los Angeles Country Club’s North Course. Clark, who had missed the cut in his only two previous U.S. Open starts, overcame two late bogeys on Nos. 15 and 16 with a brilliant par save on the 71st hole, then two-putted from 60 feet on the 72nd hole. His even-par 70 gave him a 72-hole total of 10-under-par 270. Rickie Fowler, who led the championship the first three days and shared the 54-hole lead with Clark, struggled from the outset Sunday and posted a 5-over 75 to share fifth with Tommy Fleetwood and Min Woo Lee at 5-under 275. World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler finished in solo third at 273, while reigning The Open champion Cameron Smith was one shot behind in fourth. Clark opened the championship with a 64, two strokes off the record-setting performances of Fowler and Xander Schauffele. Clark followed with rounds of 67, 69 and 70 to become the fifth consecutive champion to make the U.S. Open his first major title.

CHAMPIONSHIP HISTORY

This is the 124th U.S. Open Championship. The U.S. Open, which was first played in 1895, was not contested for two years (1917-1918) during World War I and for four years (1942-1945) during World War II. The youngest winner of the U.S. Open is 19-year-old John McDermott, who won in 1911; he is among nine players age 21 or younger who have won the U.S. Open. The oldest winner is Hale Irwin, who was 45 and playing on a special exemption when he won his third U.S. Open title in 1990. Irwin also won in 1974 and 1979.

There are four four-time U.S. Open winners: Willie Anderson (1901, 1903, 1904, 1905), amateur Bob Jones (1923, 1926, 1929, 1930), Ben Hogan (1948, 1950, 1951, 1953), and Jack Nicklaus (1962, 1967, 1972, 1980).

Only six players have won the Masters and U.S. Open titles in the same year: Craig Wood (1941), Ben Hogan (1951, 1953), Arnold Palmer (1960), Jack Nicklaus (1972), Tiger Woods (2002) and Jordan Spieth (2015).

PURSE

The 2023 purse was $20 million, the highest among golf’s major championships at the time; the winner earned $3.6 million. The 2024 purse will be announced later this week.

1,000 USGA CHAMPIONSHIPS

The USGA will conduct its 1,000th championship with the playing of this year’s U.S. Open at Pinehurst Resort & Country Club. The first was held at Newport (R.I.) Country Club when Charles B. Macdonald won the 1895 U.S. Amateur. Prior to this week, there have been 738 champions, which includes 161 multiple winners (87 men, 74 women) and 131 international-born titleholders. Bob Jones and Tigers Woods are the all-time individual leaders with nine. JoAnne (Gunderson) Carner has won the most championships by a woman with eight.

PREVIOUS U.S. OPENS AT PINEHURST RESORT & COUNTRY CLUB           

1999 U.S. OPEN
Payne Stewart made a par-saving putt from 18 feet on the final hole to defeat Phil Mickelson by a single stroke en route to his second U.S. Open Championship. With an even-par round of 70, Stewart was the only player to finish under par for the championship, with a 1-under total of 279. Mickelson finished at even-par 280. Tiger Woods and Vijay Singh made bids for the lead in what was a four-man race on Sunday, but they each ended up two back at 1-over 281. Stewart needed just 24 putts during the final round and one-putted the last three greens when it mattered most. His previous win came in 1991 at Hazeltine National Golf Club in a playoff. Stewart, who would perish in a plane crash four months later, also posted two runner-up finishes in the 1990s.

2005 U.S. OPEN

Michael Campbell became the first player from New Zealand to win the U.S. Open when he made a crucial birdie from 25 feet on the par-3 17th hole that helped him stave off Tiger Woods by two strokes. He also was the first final qualifier to win the Open since Steve Jones in 1996. As 54-hole leader Retief Goosen slipped back, it quickly became a two-man battle, with Woods playing in the third-to-last group, just ahead of Campbell. Woods had struggled with his putting all week, but managed birdies on holes 10, 11 and 15 to pull within two strokes of Campbell’s lead. Campbell answered the challenge with his birdie on No. 17, the third time he had birdied the hole in the championship.

2014 U.S. OPEN

Martin Kaymer became the first German to win the U.S. Open Championship and tied the fourth-largest winning margin in championship history with his eight-stroke victory over Rickie Fowler and Erik Compton. Kaymer shot a final-round 69 for a 72-hole score of 9-under 271 to become the eighth player to lead the U.S. Open wire to wire. He became one of only five players to win the U.S. Open, the PGA Championship and The Players Championship, joining the quartet of Tigers Woods, Jack Nicklaus, Raymond Floyd and Lee Trevino. Kaymer took a huge step toward his second major when he posted the first consecutive 65s in any major championship to set a 36-hole U.S. Open scoring record of 130, besting Rory McIlroy’s total of 131 at Congressional Country Club in 2011. Despite tougher conditions on the weekend, Kaymer never strayed too far from the tracks. Any mistake was covered up by another brilliant shot. Case in point was on Saturday when he took an unplayable lie after an errant drive on the fourth hole, only to convert a 20-footer for bogey. One hole later, he drilled a 202-yard approach from the sandy area to within 4 feet to set up an eagle 3.
