The Best Holes Ever Designed by Winged Foot Architect A.W. Tillinghast.(Departments; 2006 U.S. Open; DREAM 18)

They'll play the U.S. Open next week on the West course, the 26th time a Tillinghast course has been used for a U.S. Open, a U.S. Women's Open or a PGA Championship. The Gatsby-era money men at Winged Foot instructed Tillinghast to "give us a man-sized golf course," and in 1974 Hale Irwin won the U.S. Open there with a score of seven over par. Wolffe: I always thought the criticism that Tilly didn't design great par-5s was a bum rap and probably dated to the 1974 U.S. Open at Winged Foot.
