The last time the U.S. Open came to Winged Foot in 2006, one player broke par in the opening round – and just barely at that as Colin Montgomerie shot 1-under 69.

Round 2 was the same story, this time Steve Stricker shooting the lone red 69. Round 3, two shot 69 (Phil Mickelson and Ryuji Imada). Round 4, four shot 69 (Nick O’Hern, Jeff Sluman, Paul Casey and David Howell).
