How to Attend the U.S. Open Golf Tournament

The 122nd U.S. Open is being held at The Country Club (Brookline, Mass.) June 16-19. The Country Club has hosted the U.S. Open three other times, most recently in 1988 when Curtis Strange outlasted Nick Faldo in an 18-hole playoff. In 1913, it was the site of Francis Ouimet's legendary U.S. Open win. Brookline was also home to the infamous 1999 Ryder Cup, also known as the “Battle at Brookline,” when the U.S. staged a thrilling comeback on the final day of play.
