1995 US Open at Shinnecock Hills Thursday & Friday Tickets - Tiger Woods US Open Debut
A formal invitation with the return stamp of the United States Golf Association (USGA), marquee golf governing body, to their 1995 US Open Championship showed up in Tiger Woods' Cypress, California mailbox. The green behind the ears 19-year-old freshman in college qualified for golf's toughest test by winning his first of three US Amateur championships a year prior. This would mark phenom Tiger Woods' United States Open debut, along with technically professional USGA debut, a tournament he would go on to champion three times over (2000, 2002 & 2009). Amateur Woods' battle with Shinnecock, and specifically its unforgiving rough, was not a fair fight. While Woods delivered the first punch with an opening round 74 detailed on this official scorecard, Shinnecock Hills' thick grass would knock him out of the tournament the following day after only five holes. Wrist pain began in the tall grass on hole three and advanced to extreme just off the fairway on hole five, begrudgingly bowing out after the tee-shot on hole six. And off to the trainers for ice and treatment. Withdrawing only a third of the way through the round wasn't his plan going into his first US Open, the USGA centennial championship, but the then young man knew he would get more chances at it. Here is a pair of tickets from the 1995 US Open at Shinnecock, Thursday and Friday.
