Prior to the ’11 U.S. Open golf tournament at Congressional Country Club near Washington, DC, most golf fans knew that Rory McIlroy was a rising star on the PGA Tour. But few could have predicted that McIllroy would set the course on fire with a dominating win with a record score of 16 under par. He took home a purse of nearly $1.5 million for beating runner-up Jason Day by a whopping eight strokes. Anyone who had U.S. Open golf tickets for that event surely will not forget the experience anytime soon, and you can have that same feeling with 2012 U.S. Open golf tickets from GoTickets.

The 2012 United States Open Championship is set for June 14-17, 2012 at The Olympic Club in San Francisco. The tournament will be played over the challenging Lake Course. Although the Lake Course is only 7,060 yards long, it is annually ranked as one of the most difficult in the country and should be a true test for Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson and the rest of the U.S. Open field. The history of the Olympic Club goes all the way back to 1860, and over the last 150 years it has hosted the U.S. Open a total of four times in ’55, ’66, ’87 and ’98. The three courses at the Olympic Club are well known for their spectacular views of the Golden State Bridge, and the club is so historic that it was recognized as being among the first 100 golf clubs to be established in the U.S. If you want to be there when history is made again, get your 2012 US Open golf tournament tickets from GoTickets.
