1896 U.S. Open Golf Championship

1896 U.S. Open Golf Championship

The second Open went to the 18-hole course of the Shinnecock Hills Golf Club, Southampton, New York, in July. Like the first, it was a sideshow to the U.S. Amateur Championship. However, there were 35 entrants and 28 finished the 36 holes.

The course measured only 4,423 yards, and Jim Foulis, a Scottish professional representing the Chicago Golf Club, won with a score of 78-74=152.

The 74 set a record that was not broken until 1903, after the rubber-core ball had come into use. Horace Rawlins was runner-up, three strokes back.
