Fra Wikipedia, den frie encyklopædi
US Open er en golfturnering arrenageret 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 tilfælles, at de er sat op så scores er meget høje.
[redigér] 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 sidste gang en europæer vandt turnering var i 1970, hvor Tony Jacklin vandt.
[redigér] Kvalifikation
Turneringen er for 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.
