US Open: Oakmont’s best five winners
No other American course has produced so many great champions. Eight of the 11 winners at Oakmont, which includes three PGA Championships, are in the World Golf Hall of Fame. The exception was Sam Parks Jr, who benefited from course knowledge as a club pro at nearby South Hills Country Club.
Three of the eight US Opens at Oakmont ended in a play-off. All but one has been decided by two shots or fewer, the exception Ben Hogan in 1953, when he won all three of the majors he played that year.
