U.S. Open champions are crowned annually in a golf competition conducted by the United States Golf Association (USGA). The tournament was established in 1895, when Horace Rawlins won the inaugural championship. The U.S. Open is the second of the four major championships to be played each year. The champion receives a gold champion's medal, and the U.S. Open Championship Cup, which the winner is allowed to keep for a year. Willie Anderson, Bobby Jones (pictured), Ben Hogan and Jack Nicklaus hold the record for the most U.S. Open victories, with four victories each. Anderson holds the record for most consecutive wins with three (1903–05). Hale Irwin is the oldest winner of the U.S. Open: he was 45 years 15 days old when he won the 1990 Open. The youngest winner of the U.S. Open is John McDermott who was 19 years 315 days old when he won in 1911. Rory McIlroy holds the record for both the lowest aggregate score and score under par in 2011 at 268 and 16-under. (Full list...)
