History of the U.S. Open
This year marks the 122nd U.S. Open, with the first one being held in 1895 in Newport, Rhode Island. This will be The Country Club’s fourth time hosting the event, the others being held there in 1913, 1963 and 1988.
That first U.S. Open had ten professionals and one amateur. The winner was Horace Rawlins, a 21-year-old Englishman who had arrived in the U.S. earlier that year to take up a position at the host club. He received $150 out of a prize fund of $335, plus a $50 gold medal.
His club received the Open Championship Cup trophy, which was presented by the USGA.
Since the PGA Championship moved from August to May, the U.S. Open is now the third of the four men’s major golf championships.
