The 2010 United States Open Championship was the 110th U.S. Open, held June 17–20 in Pebble Beach, California. Graeme McDowell of Northern Ireland won his first major title, one stroke ahead of runner-up Grégory Havret of France.[4] McDowell was the first European to win the U.S. Open in forty years, since Tony Jacklin of England won in 1970, which started a period in which four out of five U.S. Open champions between 2010-14 were European.[5] This was the fifth U.S. Open to be played at Pebble Beach Golf Links (it also hosted in 2000, 1992, 1982, and 1972).

Round summaries

First round

Thursday, June 17, 2010

The 110th U.S. Open began on a sunny cool day on the Monterey Peninsula. Paul Casey, Shaun Micheel, and Brendon de Jonge all shot a 69 (−2) to lead after 18 holes. De Jonge holed out for eagle at the very difficult par-5 14th hole. Rafael Cabrera-Bello, K. J. Choi, Alex Čejka, Ryo Ishikawa, Mike Weir, and Ian Poulter all shot 70 (−1). The 2009 and 2010 AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am winner Dustin Johnson shot an even par 71. Tiger Woods, who won the U.S. Open at Pebble Beach by 15 strokes in 2000, shot a birdie-free 74 (+3). Phil Mickelson, another of the favorites entering the tournament, struggled to a 75 (+4). This was the first time in over seven years, since the first round of the 2003 Masters, where neither Woods nor Mickelson made a birdie in a round of a major championship.[13]

Shaun Micheel shot a 77 (+6), with a double-hit on a chip shot on the first hole. Woods continued to struggle, with a 72 (+1) for 146 (+4). Among those at 141 (−1) were Ernie Els, Johnson, Ishikawa, and Mickelson. Mickelson shot 66 (−5) with a front nine charge with birdies at 2, 3, 4, 6, and 8. Notable players who missed the cut were Rory McIlroy, Hunter Mahan, and two-time heart transplant survivor Erik Compton, who was playing in his first major.[14]

Woods shot a back nine 31, with birdies on the last three holes the get back in contention in solo third place at 212 (−1). Both Grégory Havret and Els finished at even par, six shots back of Johnson. Mickelson double bogeyed the 9th hole and struggled to a 73 (+2).[15]

Overnight leader Johnson quickly dropped out of contention with a triple-bogey on the second hole and a double on the third hole. Els was tied for the lead at a part of the round, but fell back eventually. Havret remained closely in contention, but McDowell ground out a round of 74 to win his first major championship.[16]
