Editor’s Note: Winged Foot West has broken more major championship dreams than almost any course in America. The severe rough, the small crowned greens and the relentless par-4 demand make it the ultimate examination of consistent ball-striking over 72 holes. Dustin Johnson’s three-putt on 18 in 2006; Hale Irwin winning the “Massacre at Winged Foot” in 1974 at +7; Bryson DeChambeau’s 2020 US Open win — the course produces defining moments with extraordinary regularity.

Key Notes & 19th Hole
- The 1974 Massacre: Hale Irwin won the US Open at +7 — the highest winning score relative to par in the modern era. The rough that year was so severe that even Tour professionals could not advance the ball from it.
- Hole 18 — Par 4, 468 Yards: The most historically significant finishing hole in American major golf — where Curtis Strange, Fuzzy Zoeller, Davis Love III and Bryson DeChambeau have all either won or lost the US Open.
