US Open of Golf

The US Open 2024 ran from Thursday, June 13th to Sunday, June 16th, 2024 on Pinehurst No. 2 in North Carolina and was won by American Bryson DeChambeau  for the second time

The U.S. Open is chronologically the now third of the four major men’s golf championships and runs annually in June, following the US Masters and recently moved PGA Championship, hosted by the United States Golf Association.

Golf betting action stays in the USA following the coveted Masters Tournament run in April at Augusta and the PGA Championship held at varying courses around The States. The US Open of golf is part of the PGA Tour and the European Tour and golfing odds favour players with accurate driving ability.

First run in 1895, the tournament was dominated by British golfers until the U.S. Open golf picks started to open up with the 1911 win by American John J. McDermott. American US Open golf winners now have a stranglehold over the competition.

Winners of the U.S. Open from the past decade are fully exempt from qualifying as are both the winner and runner-up from the previous year’s U.S. Amateur. There are plenty of other exemption categories for U.S. Open players including winners of each Masters Tournament, Open Championship and PGA Championship from the last five years and the U.S. Senior Open winner the previous year. The previous year’s U.S. Open results also have an impact with the Top 10 finishers and ties also exempt from the current US Open field.

PAST US OPEN GOLF WINNERS

The list of previous U.S. Open Champions goes back to the tournament’s inauguration in 1895 when Englishman Horace Rawlins took out the title. Scottish golfers dominated the early US Open results until the American players took over from 1911 with John McDermott going back-to-back in 1911-12. The first Australian US Open winner was David Graham in 1981 and an Aussie golfer wouldn’t take out the title again until Geoff Ogilvy in 2006.

The U.S. Open result has been decided by sudden-death, introduced in the 1950s, on three occasions (1990, 1994 and 2008). Four players hold the record of most U.S. Open wins (4): Willie Anderson, Bobby Jones, Ben Hogan and Jack Nicklaus.

Most US Open Championships:

• Willie Anderson (1901, 1903, 1904, 1905)
• Bobby Jones (1923, 1926, 1929, 1930)
• Ben Hogan (1948, 1950, 1951, 1953)
• Jack Nicklaus (1962, 1967, 1972, 1980)
