How the U.S. Open golf champions timeline works

You're sorting U.S. Open champions by the year of each golfer's first title. The note under each name usually gives the course or a moment from the win. You start with one champion on the timeline and the year showing. Choose a gap for each new card: a correct pick reveals the year, while a miss moves the golfer to the right spot and costs one of your three lives.

The championship's history is long, from immigrant club pros and amateurs through to modern power hitters. Course names show up on most cards, but the event keeps going back to the same venues, so a familiar course can point to more than one era. Notes that mention a rival, a record or a dramatic finish are more reliable, and plain ones are where you'll need to think hardest.

Want a longer game? On the deck tree you can tick this deck alongside any other one measured in release years and dates, and they shuffle into a single timeline together.
