All about the US Golf Open

In a dramatic finish, Francis Ouimet defeated two British champions in an 18-hole playoff to win the US Golf Open 1913. His victory over the two biggest names in golf created an explosion of interest in the sport from coast to coast.

Rising from humble beginnings, the first US Open was a nine-hole course, one-day tournament played on October 4, 1895 in Newport, Rhode Island.

The winner was British player Horace Rawlins, who received a whopping $150 in prize money -- and a gold medal.

Over the decades, the US Open has emerged to become one of the four majors offering prize money topping $1 million for the winner who also enjoys a much more secure spot in the profession including an automatic invitation to play in the Masters, the British Open and the PGA Championship.

While the US Open has been dominated by American players over the years, the tournament has seen a notable spate of non-American winners between 2004-2007 including South African Retief Goosen (2004), New Zealander Michael Campbell (2005), Australian Geoff Ogilvy (2006) and Argentine Ángel Cabrera (2007).

In 2010, Graeme McDowell became the first Irishman to win the event and the first European to take the title since British player Tony Jacklin won in 1970. Another Irishman -- 22-year-old Rory McIlroy -- walked away with the championship at 268 to break the U.S. Open record by four shots in 2011.

And, just to add to the drama -- it was a relative unknown, American pro Webb Simpson, who won by one stroke to take his first major championship victory in 2012. The following year, Justin Rose won his first major title, two strokes ahead of runners-up Jason Day and Phil Mickelson, and became the first player from England to win the U.S. Open since Tony Jacklin in 1970.

In 2015, it was 21-year-old American Jordan Spieth -- fresh off his victory at the Masters Tournament -- who won the US Open to become the youngest player ever to hold both the Masters and U.S. Open titles in the same year.
