Curious stories and obscure anecdotes from the toughest test in golf
- 1912 US Open map The 1912 U.S. Open, held at the Country Club of Buffalo, was the first and only Open course to feature a par 6. En route to his second consecutive U.S. Open win, John McDermott would play the 606-yard 10th hole at six-under par for the tournament.
- The worst single hole score in a U.S. Open belongs to Ray Ainsley in 1938. It started when he hit his ball into the creek on the par-4 16th at Cherry Hills C.C. He kept swinging while his ball floated down the stream, and by the time his ball was safely in the hole, he had posted a whopping 19.
