The United States Open Championship, commonly known as the U.S. Open, is the annual open golf tournament of the United States. First played in 1895, it is the second of the four major championships in golf and is on the official schedule of both the PGA Tour and the European Tour. It is staged by the United States Golf Association (USGA) in mid-June, scheduled so that, barring weather delays, the final round is played on the third Sunday, which is Father's Day. The U.S. Open is staged at a variety of courses, set up in such a way that scoring is very difficult with a premium placed on accurate driving. U.S. Open play is characterized by tight scoring at or around par by the leaders, with the winner emerging at around even par. A U.S. Open course is seldom beaten severely, and there have been many over-par wins (in part because par is usually set at 70 except for the very longest courses). Normally, an Open course is quite long and will have a high cut of primary rough (termed "Open rough" by the American press and fans), hilly greens and pinched fairways, especially on what are expected to be less difficult holes. The U.S. Open is the only one of the four major championships which does not go immediately to a playoff if two or more players are tied at the end of the four rounds. Instead, the players play a fifth 18-hole round the following day (Monday), but if a tie still exists after the round, then a sudden death playoff is held. Only three times has the U.S. Open gone to sudden death after the playoff round, most recently in 2008 when three time winner Tiger Woods defeated Rocco Mediate on the first playoff hole. Other recent winners are American Lucas Glover, who won at Bethpage Black in 2009, and Angel Cabrera from Argentina, who led the field at Oakmont Country Club in 2007. The U.S. Open is open to any professional, or to any amateur with an up-to-date USGA Handicap Index not exceeding 1.4. Players (male or female) may obtain a place by being fully exempt or by competing successfully in qualifying. The field is 156 players. There are 17 full exemption categories, including winners of the U.S. Open for the last ten years and the other three majors for the last five years, or the top 30 from the previous year's PGA Tour money list as examples. For those that must go through local and sectional qualifying, there is no lower age limit and the youngest-ever qualifier was 15-year-old Tadd Fujikawa of Hawaii, who qualified in 2006. Be there to see some of the most exciting golf anywhere in the world! The 2010 U.S. Open will be played at Pebble Beach Golf Links on June 17-20, widely recognized as one of the most beautiful and iconic courses in the world.
