The 2000 United States Open Championship was the 100th U.S. Open Championship, held June 15–18 at Pebble Beach Golf Links in Pebble Beach, California. Tiger Woods won his first U.S. Open by a record-setting fifteen strokes over runners-up Ernie Els and Miguel Ángel Jiménez — it remains the most dominating performance and victory in any major championship. As the United States Golf Association wanted to begin the millennium with a memorable tournament, Pebble Beach was moved up two years in the rotation.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=U.S. Open Reaches it's Centenary )〕 Notable golfers going into the tournament at large included Jack Nicklaus, playing in his final U.S. Open, Vijay Singh, the year's Masters winner, as well as Ernie Els, and David Duval. The defending champion, Payne Stewart, died in an aviation accident less than eight months earlier, in October 1999. His death was commemorated many times throughout the week, beginning with a group of players simultaneously teeing off from the 18th fairway into the Pacific in a twist on the 21-gun salute.〔 〕 Sergio García wore Stewart's trademark navy plus fours in Stewart's honor in the first round.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=U.S. Open Report )〕 Nicklaus was asked to take Stewart's spot in the traditional grouping, for the first two rounds, of the prior year's British Open winner (Paul Lawrie), U.S. Amateur winner (David Gossett), and U.S. Open winner. ==Course layout== Source:〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=European Tour )〕 Previous course lengths for major championships * - par 72, 1992 U.S. Open * - par 72, 1982 U.S. Open * - par 72, 1977 PGA Championship * - par 72, 1972 U.S. Open The 2nd hole was previously played as a par-5. 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「2000 U.S. Open (golf)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
