This is the 125th U.S. Open Championship. The U.S. Open, which was first played in 1895, was not contested for two years (1917-18) during World War I and for four years (1942-45) during World War II.
The youngest winner of the U.S. Open is 19-year-old John McDermott, who won in 1911; he is among eight players aged 21 or younger who have won the U.S. Open. The oldest winner is Hale Irwin, who was 45 and playing on a special exemption when he won his third U.S. Open title in 1990. Irwin also won in 1974 and 1979.

Kent was runner-up to Jose Luis Ballester in the 2024 U.S. Amateur Championship, held at Hazeltine National Golf Club, in Chaska, Minn. Kent transferred from the University of Iowa to the University of Florida and will be eligible to compete for the Gators this fall. He tied for 11th in last year’s Big Ten Conference Championship as a Hawkeye.
Gutschewski, who was competing in his first U.S. Junior Amateur, defeated Tyler Watts, 4 and 3, in last year’s 36-hole final at Oakland Hills Country Club, in Bloomfield Hills, Mich. The son of PGA Tour player Scott Gutschewski, Trevor claimed the 2024 Nebraska Junior Match Play and 2022 Nebraska Junior Amateur.
Beck defeated Bobby Massa, 9 and 8, in the championship match at Kinloch Golf Club, in Manakin-Sabot, Va. Beck, the runner-up the previous year, posted the second-largest margin of victory in the event’s history. He also became the first stroke-play medalist to win the title since Scott Harvey in 2014.
Justin Hastings captured this year’s Latin America Amateur Championship by one stroke over Patrick Sparks, of Peru, at Pilar Golf Club, in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Hastings is the second player from the Cayman Islands to win the LAAC Championship following Andrew Jarvis’s victory in 2022.
Michael La Sasso earned a U.S. Open full exemption as the 2025 NCAA Division I individual champion. La Sasso was chosen first-team All-American, All-Southeast Region and All-Southeastern Conference (SEC) as a junior on the University of Mississippi team in 2024-25. He recorded three victories and posted seven top-10 finishes overall.
Mason Howell, a 17-year-old high school junior from Thomasville, Ga., and Matt Vogt, a 34-year-old dentist from Indianapolis, Ind., were two of 10 amateurs to advance through final qualifying on June 2. Howell shared medalist honors in helping the Brookwood School to its fourth GIAA Class 3A state championship in the last five years. Vogt, who grew up in the Pittsburgh suburbs, caddied at Oakmont Country Club for six years and played in the 2021 U.S. Amateur on the same course.
Ben James, now the University of Virginia’s only three-time, first-team All-American, was a member of the victorious 2023 USA Walker Cup Team. The rising senior advanced through final qualifying at Canoe Brook Country Club, in Summit, N.J., for a second consecutive year. Jackson Koivun, the 2024 Haskins Award and Phil Mickelson Award winner, also was a first-team All’-American for a second consecutive year. The Auburn University rising junior was voted the SEC Player of the Year this past season at Auburn. He led the Tigers to their first NCAA title during his freshman season.
Frankie Harris (South Carolina), Bryan Lee (Virginia), Zach Pollo (Arizona), Lance Simpson (Tennessee) and Cameron Tankersley (Mississippi) are all college golfers. Harris and Simpson were 2025 honorable mention All-Americans.
Note: Sixteen amateurs played in last year’s U.S. Open at Pinehurst Resort & Country Club. At least three amateurs made the 36-hole cut for the third consecutive year. John Goodman is the last amateur to win the championship (1933).

He would become the 2019 Ivy League’s player of the year as a senior and competed on the DP World Tour in 2024.
Harrison Ott, who qualified for match play in the 2021 U.S. Amateur played at Oakmont, will compete in his first U.S. Open. He has played on PGA Tour Canada, PGA Tour Americas and the Korn Ferry Tour. Like Ott, George Kneiser is a Wisconsin native who has competed on several professional tours, including the Asian Tour. He played as a collegian at Wisconsin-Green Bay.
Jackson Buchanan and Grant Haefner were medalists in final qualifying. Buchanan, who will play in his second consecutive U.S. Open, shot a pair of 63s at Piedmont Driving Club, in Atlanta, Ga. A 2024 U.S. Amateur semifinalist, Buchanan earned All-America honors at the University of Illinois. Haefner, who competed in the 2021 U.S. Amateur at Oakmont, shot rounds of 68 and 65 at Springfield (Ohio) Country Club. He played at Division II Wayne State before transferring to Jacksonville University for his final year. Haefner owns four victories on the Minor League Golf Tour.

Joey Herrera, a mini-tour player, survived a 2-for-1 playoff for the last spot in the Valencia, Calif., final qualifier, that carried over to Tuesday morning due to darkness. He was a two-time all-conference selection at Cal State-East Bay
A total of 12 players worked their way to the U.S. Open through local and final qualifying in 2024. Gunnar Broin, an amateur, was the lone player to make the 36-hole cut and went on to tie for 70th at Pinehurst No. 2.
In 2025, there were 110 local qualifying sites that led to 13 final qualifiers, including international sites in Canada, England and Japan. Ken Venturi (1964) and Orville Moody (1969) are the only players to win the U.S. Open after qualifying through both local and final play. Gene Littler (1961), Julius Boros (1963), Jerry Pate (1976), Steve Jones (1996), Michael Campbell (2005) and Lucas Glover (2009) have won as final qualifiers.

This is the 10th U.S. Open Championship and the 18th USGA championship to be conducted at Oakmont Country Club.
1927 U.S. OPEN
Tommy Armour, of Scotland, who had recently turned professional, defeated Harry Cooper in an 18-hole playoff by three strokes (76-79). The 16th hole was the pivotal point in the playoff. Cooper hit his tee shot into a bunker and took four more strokes before holing out. Armour made his par and took a two-shot lead to No. 17, which both players birdied. Armour had forced the playoff with a 10-foot birdie putt on the 72nd hole and both players finished regulation at 13-over-par 301.
1935 U.S. OPEN
Sam Parks Jr. posted a two-stroke victory over Jimmy Thomson and was three clear of two-time champion Walter Hagen with a 72-hole score of 11-over-par 299. Parks, who was born less than 20 miles from the course and served as the professional at nearby South Hills Country Club, three-putted just twice during the championship. His third-round 73, which included a 60-foot chip-in eagle at the ninth hole, tied him with Thomson for the lead. As the weather deteriorated, Parks closed with a 76.
1953 U.S. OPEN
Ben Hogan tied a record with his fourth U.S. Open title, a wire-to-wire victory after opening with a 67. He registered a six-stroke margin over Sam Snead, who was a runner-up for a fourth time. Hogan, who also won the U.S. Open in 1948, 1950 and 1951, made a 60-foot birdie putt on the par-3 13th in the final round and finished 3-3-3, a par and two birdies. He later won the Open Championship at Carnoustie and became the first player since Gene Sarazen in 1932 to win both Opens in the same year. He also won the Masters in 1953.
1962 U.S. OPEN
Jack Nicklaus won the first of his four U.S. Opens when he outdueled local favorite and 1960 champion Arnold Palmer in an 18-hole playoff (71-74). Nicklaus, at age 22 and in his first year as a professional, became the youngest winner at the time since Bob Jones in 1923. He carded a final-round 69 to catch Palmer in regulation as the players finished at 1-under-par 283. Nicklaus, who led by four strokes through the playoff’s opening six holes, three-putted just once in 90 holes on Oakmont’s testing greens.
1973 U.S. OPEN
In what is considered the greatest final round played in major championship history, Johnny Miller fired an 8-under-par 63 to edge John Schlee by one stroke and Tom Weiskopf by two. Miller, who was six shots behind and teeing off one hour ahead of the leaders, made nine birdies and one bogey. He birdied holes 11, 12 and 13 and went ahead on No. 15 when he hit a 4-iron to within 10 feet. Miller, who parred the last three holes to finish at 5-under 279, found every green in regulation and took only 29 putts.
1983 U.S. OPEN
Larry Nelson fired rounds of 65 and 67 over his final 36 holes to finish at 4-under-par 280 and defeat defending champion Tom Watson by one stroke. The final round’s dramatic finish was delayed to Monday due to thunderstorms. Lightning struck again when played resumed this time in the form of Nelson’s 62-foot birdie putt on the par-3 16th that gave him the lead. He parred the next hole but three-putted the 18th. Meanwhile, Watson shoved his 9-iron on No. 17 into a greenside bunker, resulting in a bogey. He needed a birdie on the final hole, but his approach flew the green and all he could do was make a 45-footer for par.
1994 U.S. OPEN
Ernie Els defeated Loren Roberts and Colin Montgomerie in a three-way playoff after the three players were tied at 5-under-par 279 through 72 holes. It was the first playoff with multiple players since 1963. The playoff went to the 20th hole. After Montgomerie was eliminated after shooting 78 for 18 holes, Els and Roberts parred the first hole of sudden death. Roberts found a greenside bunker with his approach on the par-4 11th, while Els left himself an 18-foot birdie putt. Roberts failed to convert his 30-footer for par, and Els two-putted for the first of his two U.S. Open victories. Curtis Strange, who won back-to-back Opens in 1988 and 1989, was one stroke out of the playoff after carding four consecutive 70s.
2007 U.S. OPEN
After five different players held or shared the lead on the first nine holes of the final round, Angel Cabrera pulled into the lead with a birdie from close range on the par-4 11th hole. He added another birdie on the 15th before bogeying the next two holes. The Argentinean made par on the final hole and then waited 40 minutes while those in contention behind him completed play. Jim Furyk, who like Cabrera began the final day tied for seventh place, converted three consecutive birdies to tie for the lead after his 15th hole, but fell back after making bogey on the short par-4 17th. Tiger Woods was the last player with a chance, but he stayed a stroke behind Cabrera as well when he made par on each of the final seven holes. Cabrera finished with a 1-under-par 69 for a 72-hole total of 5-over-par 285.
2016 U.S. OPEN
Dustin Johnson carded a final-round 69 for a 72-hole score of 4-under 276 to win by three strokes over third-round leader Shane Lowry, Jim Furyk and Scott Piercy. Johnson, a U.S. Open runner-up the previous year following a three-putt on the 72nd green at Chambers Bay, overcame that memory and the distraction of a potential Rules violation early in the final round. Johnson punctuated his victory by stuffing a 6-iron approach from 191 yards to within 5 feet for a closing birdie. Although Johnson received a one-stroke penalty upon review at the completion of his round, it did not impact his victory. Lowry, who fired a third-round 65 for a four-stroke lead following 54 holes, struggled to a 6-over 76. Johnson joined Bob Jones (1923, 1926, 1929), Jack Nicklaus (1972), Payne Stewart (1999) and Tiger Woods (2008) as U.S. Open champions who were runners-up the previous year.

CHAMPIONSHIP TROPHY
The first United States Open Championship was won by Horace Rawlins in September 1895, at Newport (R.I.) Golf Club. Rawlins earned $150, a gold champion’s medal, and possession of the championship sterling silver cup for one year. The trophy was designated for display at Rawlins’ club until it was presented to the next year’s champion. Thus began a perennial rite that has endured for more than a century.
The original two-handled cup was destroyed by fire in September 1946 at Lloyd Mangrum’s home club, Tam O’Shanter, outside of Chicago. The USGA considered replacing it with a new design but opted instead to preserve the look of the original with a full-scale replica on April 24, 1947. This replica remained in service, passed from champion to champion until 1986, when it was permanently retired to the USGA Museum. Today, the U.S. Open champion receives possession of the 1986 full-scale replica.
The U.S. Open Trophy that debuted in 1947 is on display at the USGA Golf Museum in Liberty Corner, N.J.
MAJOR CHAMPIONSHIP VICTORY LEADERS – Jack Nicklaus is first among the all-time major championship victory leaders with 18 major professional titles, including four U.S. Opens. Tiger Woods is second with 15 major professional championships and has won three U.S. Opens.
