1897 U.S. Open Golf Championship
- 1897 U.S. Open Golf Championship
The 1897 U.S. Open Golf Championship was the third staging of the U.S. Open, the leading professional golf tournament in the United States at the time. The championship was held at the Chicago Golf Club on its 18-hole course in September. Having successfully bid for the competitions, the West also bid strongly for the titles, but Joe Lloyd, an English professional who worked at the Essex County Club of Manchester, Massachusetts, in the summer and at Pau, France, in the winter, returned the Open to the East by scoring 83-79--162 to lead a field of 35. Lloyd won the tournament by scoring an eagle on the par-5 18th hole, the only Open ever to be won in that manner. [cite web|url=http://classweb.gmu.edu/jkozlows/adagolf2.htm|title=Olinger v.

Willie Anderson, who was later to win four times, played for the first time and finished second, only one stroke behind.
