The1995 U.S. Open was the 95thU.S. Open, held June 15–18 atShinnecock Hills Golf Club inSouthampton, New York. It marked the 100th anniversary of the U.S. Open.Corey Pavin won his onlymajor championship, two strokes ahead of runner-upGreg Norman.[2][3][4][5][6]
Norman opened with rounds of 68-67,[7][8] then fell back with 74 in the third round;Tom Lehman's 67 on Saturday tied Norman for the 54-hole lead.Phil Mickelson andBob Tway were a stroke back at even par, while Pavin was at 212 (+2), tied for fifth with four others.[9]
In the final round, Norman and Lehman were still tied at the turn, but Lehman bogeyed 11 and Norman bogeyed 12. Pavin had birdied 12, which brought him into a tie with Norman, Lehman, and Tway. Norman and Tway each then suffered bogeys, while Pavin took sole possession of the lead with a birdie at 15. Even with a Norman birdie at the 15th, his first since the opening hole of the third round, nobody could catch Pavin. He sealed the victory with a 4-wood approach to the 18th, running down the fairway as the ball was in the air and raising his hands in triumph after it ran onto the green. He carded a 68 for an even-par 280, two ahead of Norman, who shot 73.
In the final round,Neal Lancaster set a new U.S. Open record with a 29 on the back nine. Nineteen-year-oldTiger Woods, the reigningU.S. Amateur champion, played in his first U.S. Open but withdrew during the second round with awrist injury.[2][10]
This was the third U.S. Open at Shinnecock Hills; it previously hosted in1896 and1986. It returned in2004 and2018.
