The U.S. Open is one of golf’s four major championships, organized by the United States Golf Association (USGA). It was first played on October 4, 1895, at Newport Golf Club in Rhode Island, featuring just 11 competitors. The tournament has since grown into one of the most prestigious events in golf.

Oakmont Country Club, located in Pennsylvania, is one of the most historic and challenging golf courses in the United States. It has hosted the U.S. Open a record 10 times, making it the most frequent venue for the championship2.
