For alternative betydninger, se US Open er en golfturnering arrangeret af United States Golf Association og spilles hvert år i juni. Den er en golfverdenens fire majors og tæller dermed både på Europatouren og PGA Touren. Turneringen spilles hvert år på forskellige baner, som dog har det tilfælles, at de er sat op, så scores er meget høje.
Historie
Den første US Open blev spillet den 4. oktober 1895 på en ni-hullersbane ved Newport på Rhode Island. Turneringen blev spillet over 36 huller på en dag og havde 11 deltagere. På trods af at den første turnering blev spillet i 1895 kom den første amerikanske vinder først i 1911, men siden da har spillere fra USA vundet langt de fleste år. Den første gang en europæer vandt turneringen i 40 år var i 2010, hvor Graeme McDowell vandt. Europæeren før ham, var Tony Jacklin i 1970. Rory McIlroy satte i 2011 historie ved at blive den der har gået laveste samlede score nogensinde i U.S. Open. En præstation der får de fleste til at måbe, da banerne generelt er sat meget svært op. Tiger Woods lavede i 2000 en lignende præstation, da han på det tidspunkt scorede et samlet -12, den tids bedste score. Woods var som den eneste under par, og at han så endda er 12 under par gør det hele meget bedre. Rory vandt med 8 slag over Jason Day, mens Tiger vandt med 15 slag, over en delt anden plads mellem Ernie Els og Miguel Ángel Jiménez
Kvalifikation
Turneringen er åben for tilmelding, for alle der har et handicap på højest 1,4, som så derefter skal igennem 2 kvalifikations runder for at komme imellem de 156 spillere i selve turneringen. I første runde af kvalifikationen blev der i 2006 spillet på 110 baner. I anden runde af kvalifikationen deltager ca. 750 spillere, som dels er spillere der har kvalificeret sig fra første runde dels en række professionelle spillere der ikke har kvalificeret sig direkte. I 2006 deltog bl.a. Søren Hansen og Søren Kjeldsen i kvalifikationens anden runde, dog uden at kvalificerer sig til hovedturneringen. Ud over kvalifikationen er ca. halvdelen af deltagerne direkte med i turneringen på baggrund af f.eks. verdensranglisteplacering.
