The 1986 U.S. Open was the 86th U.S. Open, held June 12–15 at Shinnecock Hills Golf Club in Shinnecock Hills, New York. Raymond Floyd won his fourth and final major, two strokes ahead of runners-up Chip Beck and Lanny Wadkins. It was Floyd's only U.S. Open title and he became its oldest winner, a record he held for four years. Greg Norman led after 36 holes, and took the lead into the final round, a stroke ahead of Lee Trevino and Hal Sutton, but a 75 dropped him back six strokes to 12th place. Norman led each of the four major championships in 1986 after 54 holes, but won just once, at the British Open. During the final round, ten players either led or shared the lead; after Floyd birdied the par-3 11th, he was part of a nine-way tie for first.〔 Floyd began the round three strokes back and separated himself from the pack with a bogey-free 66.〔 After the birdie at 11, he saved par at 12, then recorded another birdie at 13 to tie for the lead. Floyd took sole possession of the lead after the 14th, then added another birdie at the 16th. After finishing his round, he was two clear of his closest pursuers: Wadkins and Beck both shot 65 to climb the leaderboard and share second place, two strokes back.〔 They tied the course record, set earlier in the day by Mark Calcavecchia. With the win, Floyd became the oldest winner of the U.S. Open at , surpassing the long-standing record of Ted Ray from 1920 by several months. It was Floyd's fourth and final major championship, and he only won twice more in his career. Masters champion Jack Nicklaus, age 46, finished in a tie for 8th, his last top-10 finish at the U.S. Open. Hale Irwin won at age 45 in 1990 in a playoff and remains the U.S. Open's oldest champion. Entering this championship, Floyd had played in 21 U.S. Opens and had only two finishes in the top ten. His best result was a tie for sixth in 1965; he finished eighth in 1971, fifteen years earlier. It was the second U.S. Open at Shinnecock Hills, which previously hosted 90 years earlier in 1896. The championship returned in 1995 and 2004. ==Course layout== Source:〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「1986 U.S. Open (golf)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
