Its bakedout bumpy greens had Jordan Spi and Billy Horchel calling them unfair and nearly unplayable even as speed stole the trophy. Number four, Royal Port Rush. In 2019, hometown hero Rory Mroy opened with a quadruple bogey 8 and missed the cut while Shane Lowry cruised to the Clarit Jug. Number three, Winged Foot. The 2006 US Open saw Phil Mickelson implode with a double bogey on 18 to hand Jeff Oglevie the title. Number two, Oakmont. Lightning fast greens, jungle rough, and Dustin Johnson grinding out a bruising US Open win while most of the field got chewed up. Number one, Carni.
