5. Us Open -- Years
   The US Open has been played on all three of the surfaces that are seen on the professional tennis tour.

9. Curtis Strange -- Us Open
   In winning the 1989 championship, at Oak Hill, Strange pared the first 15 holes of his final round. He then made a crucial birdie on 16 (par 4), pared the 17th and could afford the luxury of a bogey-five at 18, to win by one stroke. Strange had started the final round three strokes behind leader Tom Kite. But Kite took a triple-bogey 7 at the fifth hole, went on to shoot an 8-over-par 78 and finished in a tie for 9th - five strokes behind Strange. When asked what it takes to win the US Open twice, Strange replied: "Guts and pars."
10. Us Open -- New York
    The first US Open Golf Mens Championship was played on October 4, 1895 on a nine-hole course in Newport, Rhode Island. It was a thirty-six hole competition and was played in a single day. Ten professionals and one amateur entered. The winner was a 21-year-old Englishman named Horace Rawlins who had arrived in the U.S. in January that year to take up a position at the host club. He received $150 cash out of a prize fund of $325, plus a $50 gold medal; his club received the Open Championship Cup trophy, which was presented by the USGA. In the beginning, the tournament was dominated by experienced British players until 1911 when John J. McDermott became the first native-born American winner.
