Pebble Beach Golf Links, host to 10 previous USGA championships including four U.S. Opens, will once again host the U.S. Open Championship, June 14-20, 2010.

The 2010 U.S. Open Championship marked the fifth time that the storied Pebble Beach Golf Links has hosted this prestigious event.

The United States Open Championship is an open men's golf tournament, held in the USA every year. It is organized by the United States Golf Association in June. It is usually planned so that the final round is always held on the 3rd Sunday of June. It is also one of four major championships in men's golf in the USA and is officially on the agenda of the PGA TOUR and the European Tour. The U.S. Open takes place at a number of grounds, which are generally established so that low scoring is practically impossible. Actually, an Open course is longer than a usual one and has rough, hilly greens and pinched fairways. Some grounds, that try to get on the rotation for the tournament, are redesigned in order to receive these features.

Any professional or any amateur with an up-to-date USGA handicap index not exceeding 1.4. can qualify to compete in the U.S. Open. Golfers reach the 156-player field by being fully exempt or by successfully competing in qualifying tournaments.

The first ever U.S. Open Championship took place on October 4, 1895, in Newport, Rhode Island. It was held in the form of a 36-hole competition and was played in one day. The participants consisted of 10 professional golfers and one amateur. The victory was gained by a young Englishman called Horace Rawlins. He got $150 out of the award fund of $325, and a $50 gold medal. His club was given the Open Championship Cup trophy, granted by the USGA.

The U.S. Open, which is one of the four major golf tournaments held yearly, didn’t have an American-born winner until 1911 when John J. McDermott won at the Chicago Golf Club. The other majors are The Masters, The US Open and the Professional Golfers Association (PGA) championship.

Players from only four nations, other than the United States, have won the U.S. Open  since 1950. South African golfers lead the way with five championships since 1965.

The last three U.S. Opens have been won by non-American golfers. Retief Goosen, South Africa, won in 2005; Michael Campbell, New Zealand, in 2005; and Geoff Ogilvy,  Australia, in 2006. No European player has won since England’s Tony Jacklin, captured the crown in 1970.
