1996 U S Open Scores And Tournament Recap

Playing in his first U.S. Open since 1991, the injury-plagued Steve Jones recorded the biggest win of his career.

The 1996 U.S. Open was played on the South Course at Oakland Hills Country Club. Jones arrived having advanced through sectional qualifying. He had four PGA Tour wins by this point, but none since 1989. Late in 1991, Jones suffered damage to various ligaments and joints in a dirt biking accident and didn’t get back into a PGA Tour event until 1994.

After winning here, Jones won three more times for a total of eight career PGA Tour victories.

Tom Lehman and Davis Love III tied for second, one behind Jones. Each had his chances in the final round. Lehman, the third-round leader, had a three-stroke lead after the first nine holes of the final round. But while Jones advanced from that point, Lehman lost strokes, culminating with a bogey on the final hole.

Love, meanwhile, made a charge on the back nine of the final round, only to miss a 3-foot par putt on the final hole. Jones didn’t miss, making a 2-putt par on the 72nd green to seal the victory.

In his final U.S. Open as an amateur, Tiger Woods placed in a tie for 82nd.

Playing in his first U.S. Open since 1991, the injury-plagued Steve Jones recorded the biggest win of his career.

After winning here, Jones won three more times for a total of eight career PGA Tour victories.

Love, meanwhile, made a charge on the back nine of the final round, only to miss a 3-foot par putt on the final hole. Jones didn’t miss, making a 2-putt par on the 72nd green to seal the victory.

In his final U.S. Open as an amateur, Tiger Woods placed in a tie for 82nd.
