The US Open Championship is the second oldest of the professional majors, first contested in 1895 over the 9-hole course of Newport Golf and Country Club. Ten professionals and one amateur played 36 holes and Horace Rawlins, an English assistant pro at the host club, won $150 with a 173 (91-82) total, using the gutta-percha ball. The first American-born champion was John J. McDermott in 1911 and 1912.
