Everything you need to know about the 2022 U.S. Open originally appeared on NBC Sports Washington
The third major golf championship of the year has arrived.
The U.S. Open is filled with challenges, allowing only the best in the game to be victorious. Rightfully so, the tournament has the largest championship purse of all four majors.
The annual tournament’s first edition was in 1895 when the event was on a nine-hole course (36-hole competition) and held in a single day. In 1898, the event transitioned to an 18-hole course (72-hole competition) over two days. Currently, the event is four days.
Jon Rahm was crowned U.S. Open champion last year as he became the first player from Spain to win the event. The win launched Rahm to No. 1 in the Official World Golf Ranking.
