Best Golf Shot in a US Open
1923: Bobby Jones at Inwood Mid-iron from a bare patch of fairway 195 yards out at Inwood’s 18th while tied in a 1923 playoff against Bobby Cruickshank. Jones’ shot clears a green-fronting pond and stops six feet from the hole to set up a two-putt par for the win. 1929: Bobby Jones at Winged Foot Stopping what would have been a monumental back-nine collapse at Winged Foot. His 12-foot par putt at 18 pauses on the lip before falling to get Jones into a playoff, where he then routs Al Espinosa by more than 20 strokes. 1950: Ben Hogan at Merion 1-iron second shot to the 18th in the 1950 Open at Merion sets up a par and forces a three-way playoff that he subsequently wins against Lloyd Mangrum and George Fazio. 1955: Jack Fleck at Olympic Drops an 8-foot birdie putt to force a playoff. Fleck won the next day against a faltering Hogan, who was denied what would have been a record fifth Open title. 1960: Arnold Palmer at Cherry Hill Drove the green to set up a birdie at the 346-yard first hole. That kick started a final-round 65 that allowed Palmer to overcome a seven-shot deficit and beat a 20-year-old amateur named Jack Nicklaus by two. 1964: Ken Venturi at Congressional After the three-digit heat at Congressional, Ken Venturi in 1964 sticks a 1-iron that hits the pin at the 215-yard 16th, leading to a par that he later termed the clincher to his only major victory. 1972: Jack Nicklaus at Pebble Beach Bores his 1-iron into the wind at the par-3 17th and hits the pin on the bounce, setting up a tap-in birdie on his way to a three-stroke triumph over Bruce Crampton. 1976: Jerry Pate at Atlanta 5-iron out of the rough and over the water from 194 yards at Atlanta’s 18th in 1976, leaving him a three-foot birdie putt that polished off a two-shot win. 1982: Tom Watson at Pebble Beach Denies Nicklaus a fifth Open title, calling his shot to caddie and then chipping in from the green-side rough at Pebble Beach’s 17th for a decisive birdie. 1983: Larry Nelson at Oakmont Outduels Tom Watson at Oakmont, holing out a 60-footer that descends over a couple of tiers for a birdie at the par-3 16th. That shot sends Nelson on his way to a one-shot win. 1990: Hale Irwin at Medinah Makes the rounds, high-fiving spectators, after draining a 45-foot birdie putt at Medinah’s 18th in 1990 to get into a playoff, which he wins a day later against the unheralded Mike Donald. 1992: Tom Kite at Atlanta Drills a green-side pitch from a buried lie at Pebble Beach’s short par-3 seventh that slams into the pin and drops into the cup for a birdie. Kite then holds on in the blustery conditions to win his first major title. 1995: Corey Pavin at Shinnecock Hills Becomes the latest to shed the tag of “best player never to win a major.” He locks it up with a 228-yard four-wood to five feet at 18 as he scurries down the fairway for a better view. An easy two-putt par gives him a two-shot win over Greg Norman. 1999: Payne Stewart at Pinehurst Four months before he is to die in a plane crash, Payne Stewart in 1999 at Pinehurst wraps up his third major victory by sinking a 15-foot par putt at 18 to keep dad-to-be Phil Mickelson majorless. 2006: Geoff Ogilvy at Winged Foot The best shot under Sunday’s pressure at Winged Foot in 2006 was Geoff Ogilvy’s chip-in par at the 17th, although it was overshadowed by Phil Mickelson’s badly-pushed tee shot left at 18 that led to a double bogey. For good measure, Ogilvy got up and down at 18 to save par and defeat a stunned Mickelson.

Fascination with par
Nick Faldo thought he would uncover the secret to winning the U.S. Open when he arranged for a meeting with four-time champion Ben Hogan. Faldo, ever the analyst, asked Hogan what it would take for him to win. “Shoot the lowest score,” Hogan replied.

If that conversation had taken place 20 years later, Hogan’s answer might have been slightly different. “Just shoot par.”

Even par would have been good enough to win the past three U.S. Opens— Michael Campbell at Pinehurst No. 2 (even par), Geoff Ogilvy at wicked Winged Foot (5 over) and Angel Cabrera at Oakmont (5 over).

Whether that’s what it takes this week at Torrey Pines remains to be seen. So far, everyone is raving about a golf course that is stern but fair, from the generous fairways to the graduated height of rough. But opinions tend to change when scores are put down on the card.

Perhaps no other major has a fascination with par as the U.S. Open. I tend to very much agree too. US Open should be the supreme test of golf. If someone goes under par to win, something is wrong with the course. This is not the run-of-the-mill weekend tour event where some nice little country club or resort has a winner I might have heard of a couple of times walk away with a 9-under par win. This is why the Open should be limited to only the best (Shinnecock Hills, Pinehurst No. 2, Oakmont, Merion, Bethpage State Park Black, and a few others).

Torrey Pines has been around for a half-century as a par 72. But with the U.S. Open in town this week, it will play as a par 71. The sixth hole will play 515 yards and be the longest par 4 in tournament history. But I am disgusted with the 18th hole being so easy. I want a home hole a Hogan, Palmer or Woods would say "WOW that is tough".

The USGA’s philosophy of converting par 5s into par 4s began in 1951 at Oakland Hills. That U.S. Open was famous for the winner (Hogan) and how he described the course.

“I’m glad I brought this course, this monster, to its knees,” Hogan said.

He finished at 7-over 287. But if the USGA had left Nos. 8 and 18 as par 5s that week, and Oakland Hills had been a par 72, Hogan still would have won with a score of 1-under 287.

Would he still have called it a monster?

It is clear the USGA is not interested in 15 under winning its premier championship.

The PGA Championship has some of the lowest scores, due mainly to it being held in August when the greens require more water to keep them alive in the summer heat. The British Open is the least bothered by scoring. If the wind blows, the scores are high. If it’s calm, the scores are low. Congratulations, see you next year.

What Hogan once told Faldo is still true today. Lowest score wins.

THE NEXT WEEK

The Travelers Championship in Cromwell, Connecticut loves their dates on the PGA Tour calendar: the week after the United States Open. This year was easy to see why. The Travelers, on a bright, windless and still rain-spongy day, was the anti-U.S. Open. The Tournament Players Club at River Highlands was a dart board for the pros Thursday, which is everything Torrey Pines was not last week. Jason Gore said it was “kind of refreshing to see balls land on the green and actually stop.” A guy who looked like Aqualung had the share of the lead at 6-under par 64 and virtually everyone who bothered to swing a club Thursday followed in red numbers. In the morning group, when the course was at its wettest, no less than 52 of 78 players shot under par. And for the first round in its entirety, a whopping 104 players shot under par, threatening to match the record 1-under cut line that has occurred four different times since River Highlands became a par 70 in 1990. Glad they liked it. I didn't. I wouldn't have paid a dime to see it and I wouldn't even want to be associated with that pitch-and-putt club.

2015 US Open
UNIVERSITY PLACE, Wash. -- Seven months after it opened for public play, Chambers Bay can start preparing for the U.S. Open. Chambers Bay, built over a former gravel pit along the lower Puget Sound southwest of Seattle, was awarded the 2015 U.S. Open on Friday. It will be the first U.S. Open held in the Pacific Northwest. USGA is confident that the golf course will provide a challenging test for the best players in the world. Signals a continuing shift toward municipal courses. When the 2015 U.S. Open is played, it will be the third time in an eight-year period that the national championship is played on a public golf course. Torrey Pines in San Diego will host the U.S. Open this year, followed by Bethpage Black on Long Island (which also hosted the U.S. Open in 2002). Pierce County invested $21 million in Chambers Bay, which was designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr. with the goal of landing a major. The USGA also awarded the 2010 U.S. Amateur to Chambers Bay.The last time the U.S. Open went to such a new golf course was in 1970 at Hazeltine, a private club in Minnesota that was designed by Robert Trent Jones Sr. and opened for play in 1962.n The Scottish-style course, featuring sandy terrain, views of Puget Sound and the Olympic Mountains and only one tree, opened in June 2007 and has been named "Best New Course of the Year" by Golf Magazine, second-best new course by Golfweek, and 2007 Course of the Year by Travel & Leisure golf magazine.

Maidstone, East Hampton, Long Island One of America's greatest courses. US Open should play here, buy no tournaments do. It is about private as they get. If you like Shinnecock or St. Andrews, you will love Maidstone. Unlike a neighbor to the west, Shinnecock Hills, the Maidstone Club has never hosted a U.S. Open or any major tournament, and it is unlikely to ever do so. One reason is the intense privacy of the membership. Another is the size of the course - at 6,390 yards, the par-18 course provides challenge enough for the members but is too short for even a Champions Tour event. I kind of disagree with this because the name of the game at this course is accuracy. One other reason is that the Club could never accommodate a large crowd. One way that Shinnecock Hills has been able to host four U.S. Opens is that it is right off the major road that leads into the Hamptons. The Maidstone Club is decidedly off the beaten path, south of Montauk Highway and among winding back roads that end at the Atlantic Ocean. To visit Maidstone is to glimpse what old East Hampton was like. There are actually 27 holes at the Maidstone Club. One course that routinely makes the quality lists is Maidstone Club West. There is also on the property a nine-hole course (2,768 yards from the back tees) constructed in 1930 that is more often played by youngsters and those still learning the game. Among the designations the West course has received is #35 on Golfweek’s top 100 classic (pre-1960) courses in the world in 2006 and #38 in Golf Magazine’s top 100 courses in the U.S. in 2005.
