The golf quiz is on recent U.S. Open venues. The first U.S. Open, the United States Open Championship to give it its full name, was played on October 4, 1895, at Newport Country Club in Rhode Island. This was played over what was then a 2,755-yard nine-hole course (the course was expanded to 18 holes in 1899).

That tournament was played over a single day as a 36-hole strokeplay event, which 10 professionals and one amateur entered. Englishman Horace Rawlins won by two shots, with a score of 173.
