The 110th US Open was a major shuffle and come back for the UK golfers as Graeme McDowell of Northern Ireland won the US Open after 40 long years. This European win was greatest benchmark for the continent as it was the second enormous win.

The 2010 United States Open Championship began at June 17th and ended on June 20th and it was played at Pebble Beach Golf Links. In 1970, Tony Jacklin registered a massive win and his achievement was discussed in news for several years. It took nearly half of the century for the European golfers to re-acquire the championship, but the present championship belongs to them and Europeans are well known to retain their position. In the coming years, we would definitely see such incidences quite frequently.
