  • The first U.S. Open Mens Championship run by the United States Golf Association was played on October 4, 1895 on a nine-hole course in Newport, Rhode Island. In the beginning, the tournament was dominated by experienced British players until 1911 when John J. McDermott became the first native-born American winner. Very quickly American golfers began to win and the tournament evolved to become one of the four tournaments comprising the prestigious Grand Slam of golf.
