2010 US Open

When the USGA announced that the 2010 US Open Championship would be held at Pebble Beach, memories are triggered of the historic Tiger Woods win back in 2000.

Sure to be a treat for both golfer and spectator, Pebble Beach provides an electric atmosphere, stunning views and world class golf.

Players unanimously agreed that Pebble Beach is one of the finest courses in the world, a supreme test of golf and eminently fair.

The U.S. Open held its 100th playing at Pebble Beach Golf Links in June of 2000, showcasing what was to become a symbolic passing of the torch from golfing great Jack Nicklaus to heir-apparent Tiger Woods. Woods' performance was nothing short of unbelievable. His first-round score of 65 was the best 18-hole total in any of the four U.S. Opens held at Pebble Beach. On the Friday, he shot a 69, giving him a six-stroke lead on the field. Despite a triple bogey Saturday's third hole, Woods rebounded to a par 71 and extended his lead to nine strokes.

On the final day, in front of the largest U.S. Open television audience in two decades, he transformed a dominant victory into a historic feat. Tiger combined a bogey-free round with birdies on holes 10, 12, 13 and 14. His 67 gives him a four-day total of 272, tying the record for the lowest 72-hole score ever in the national championship, and besting his nearest competitor by 15 strokes.

There is something special about Pebble Beach and if history is anything to go by, 2010 will not disappoint.
