In The Greatest U.S. Opens, veteran golf journalist and author David Barrett brings readers inside the ropes at the most dramatic tournaments since the Open’s inception in 1895. Renowned as the most challenging of the major championships, the U.S. Open has showcased the country’s greatest golf courses, including Pebble Beach, Oakmont, Merion and Shinnecock Hills. And, by adding the notoriously long “ Open rough” and grooming super-fast greens, the U.S Open is considered the toughest challenge of the year, providing the forum for the greats of the game to test their mettle and prove their stature by winning multiple times--including Bobby Jones, Ben Hogan, Jack Nicklaus, and Tiger Woods. The extreme difficulty of a U.S. Open course has also yielded the occasional and unlikely upset, including Francis Oiumet’s 1913 thrilling victory over English greats Harry Vardon and Ted Ray or Jack Fleck stealing a shocking win from Hogan in 1955.

David Barrett has been a professional golf writer for over three decades, includingserving as a senior editor at Golf Magazine. He graduated from Haverford College, andhas covered the major golf championships, including more than 20 U.S. Opens. He is the author of seven previous books, including Miracle at Merion, winner of the USGA’s 2010 Herbert Warren Wind Award for the best golf book of the year, and The Story of the Masters, which was shortlisted for the same award in 2021.
