118Th U.S. OPEN CHAMPIONSHIP – FACT SHEET 118th U.S. OPEN CHAMPIONSHIP – FACT SHEET June 14-17, 2018, Shinnecock Hills Golf Club, Southampton, N.Y. mediacenter.usga.org | usopen.com | #USOpen PAR AND YARDAGE Shinnecock Hills Golf Club will be set up at 7,440 yards and will play to a par of 35-35—70. The yardage for each round of the championship will vary due to course setup and conditions. HOLE BY HOLE Hole 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Total Par 4 3 4 4 5 4 3 4 4 35 Yards 399 252 500 475 589 491 189 439 485 3,819 Hole 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 Total Par 4 3 4 4 4 4 5 3 4 35 Yards 415 159 469 374 519 409 616 175 485 3,621 ARCHITECTS Willie Davis completed the first 12 holes in 1891 and head professional Willie Dunn contributed six holes by 1894. The path of the railroad line forced the club to acquire land north of the clubhouse, where, from 1916-17, Charles Blair Macdonald fashioned six new holes for play. William Flynn then constructed 12 new holes and largely altered Macdonald's layout from 1929 to 1931. The clubhouse, built in 1892, underwent a major restoration in 2016 but remains substantially the same as a century ago. COURSE RATING Based on the course setup for the championship, the USGA Course Rating™ is 76.9 and the Slope Rating® is 146. WHO CAN ENTER The championship is open to any professional golfer and any amateur golfer with a Handicap Index® not exceeding 1.4. The deadline for entries was Wednesday, April 25. ENTRIES In 2018, the USGA accepted 9,049 entries, the eighth-highest total in U.S. Open history. The record of 10,127 entries was set in 2014. There were 9,882 entries filed in 2015. LOCAL QUALIFYING Local qualifying, played over 18 holes, was conducted at 112 sites in the U.S. between April 30-May 17. Qualifying was held in 45 U.S. states and Canada. Florida hosted 15 local qualifiers, while California was second with 14. SECTIONAL QUALIFYING Sectional qualifying, played over 36 holes, was conducted at two international sites on May 21 (Japan) and June 4 (England) as well as 10 U.S. sites on Monday, June 4. CHAMPIONSHIP FIELD The starting field of 156 golfers will be cut after 36 holes to the low 60 scorers (and ties). SCHEDULE OF PLAY Eighteen holes of stroke play are scheduled each day from June 14 (Thursday) through June 17 (Sunday). In the event of a tie after 72 holes, a two-hole aggregate playoff will take place following the completion of Sunday’s final round. 2017 CHAMPION Brooks Koepka, one of the biggest hitters in the game, brought the longest U.S. Open to its knees to produce a four-stroke victory over 54-hole leader Brian Harman and Hideki Matsuyama. Koepka, who started the final round one shot behind Harman, fired a 5-under-par 67 – his third sub-70 round of the championship. His 72-hole total of 16-under 272 was four strokes shy of the record registered by Rory McIlory in 2011 at par-71 Congressional Country Club, in Bethesda, Md., and it tied the Northern Irishman’s mark in relation to par. He also became the seventh consecutive first-time major champion and the third American in a row to win the U.S. Open. It was all part of a record-setting week at Erin Hills, the first course to host a U.S. Open in Wisconsin. Koepka’s impeccable ball-striking led to 17 of 18 greens hit, and his three consecutive birdies from Nos. 14-16, including a 17-foot putt on the par-3 16th, helped him pull away from the field. PLAYERS IN FIELD WITH MOST U.S. OPEN APPEARANCES (2017 included): Phil Mickelson (26), Ernie Els (25), Jim Furyk (23), Steve Stricker (20), Tiger Woods (19), Sergio Garcia (18), Adam Scott (16), Matt Kuchar (15), Paul Casey (14) and Zach Johnson (14).

TITLE DEFENSE Since 1991, five champions have finished better than 15th in trying to defend their U.S. Open crowns. Tiger Woods tied for sixth in 2009 after capturing his third Open title at Torrey Pines the previous year. Woods also tied for 12th in 2001 after winning his first U.S. Open at Pebble Beach. Retief Goosen tied for 11th in 2005 following his second U.S. Open championship victory, at Shinnecock Hills. Graeme McDowell tied for 14th the year after winning the 2010 U.S. Open at Pebble Beach. Justin Rose tied for 12th in 2014 following his victory at Merion Golf Club in 2013. Eight champions missed the cut the next year during this period, including Dustin Johnson in 2017. WHAT THE WINNER RECEIVES Among the benefits enjoyed by the U.S. Open winner are: • A U.S. Open exemption for the next 10 years • An invitation to the next five Masters Tournaments • An invitation to the next five Open Championships, conducted by The R&A • An invitation to the next five PGA Championships • An invitation to the next five Players Championships • Exempt status on the PGA Tour for five years QUALIFYING FOR THE OTHER MAJORS The top 10 finishers (and ties) are exempt for the following year’s U.S. Open. The top four finishers (and ties) are invited to next year’s Masters Tournament. HISTORY This is the 118th 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).

  • Ron Arnst's HMG Course Collection Summaries
    HISTORY MAKER GOLF Championship Golf Game • Course Summaries Course Collection ONE Blackjack GC, Las Vegas NV / based on TPC SUMMERLIN TPC Summerlin’s layout, carved from a magnificent swath of rugged desert terrain by renowned golf course architect Bobby Weed, provides a good reference for the Blackjack GC. TPC Summerlin’s lush bentgrass greens, numerous water features and an abundance of pine trees all contrast dramatically with undisturbed desert washes. The course features four closing holes that deliver top flight golf drama. The final charge begins with the par 4, 15th hole – a drivable par 4 that will temp most players. If the tee shot misses the green, an “up and down” birdie is possible, but not easy, due to the severely elevated and undulated green – which is surrounded by five bunkers that regularly attract stray tee shots. The 16th hole is a relatively downhill par-5 that is reachable with two good shots. The green is guarded by water short of the green, and bunkers beyond. Only a mid-iron will be necessary for the second shot, with a birdie almost a certainty. A challenging and un-nerving par-3, the 17th hole plays downhill with the green guarded closely by a lake on the left and by bunkers on the right. Par is good score and birdies are rare, should players need to make up ground. The 18th is a well-designed and strategic finishing hole which moves right to left off the tee. The green is protected on the left by a lake. An aggressive tee shot with the driver can leave the player just a short iron to a very deep green from front to back.

    PURSUITS GOLF GOLF PURSUITS For the Aspiring Golf Professional You know it’s a tough course when professional golfers complain of its difficulty.

Pit your skills against one of the world’s most challenging courses, created by Pete Dye, and navigate through the plethora of hazards, especially on the 17th and 18th hole. Rated by several publications to be one of the toughest courses in the world, as well as once being dropped from being the PGA Tour’s Bob Hope Desert Chrysler Classic course because it was too challenging, this course is the ultimate test for the advanced golfer (green fees at about US$235, though it varies throughout the year) to conquer and be labelled against the greats, Should you prevail, enter the PGA Tour “Q School” Finals to land the coveted PGA Tour Card. Another course designed by Pete Dye, known for his “Dye-bolical” designs, is the Ocean The Course at Kiawah Island Golf Resort (www. kiawahresort.com) in South Carolina, USA.
