2011 U.S. Open
Rory McIlroy dominated the 2011 U.S. Open from start to finish, leading after each round and running away to an 8-stroke victory. McIlroy set a slew of tournament records along the way, and erased the memory of his final-round meltdown at The Masters just a couple months earlier. McIlroy did all this at age 22. The runner-up at Congressional Country Club was another golfer in his early 20s, Jason Day. Scores/Recap
