1991 U.S. Open Winner and Scores
The 1991 U.S. Open was the 91st time the tournament was played. The champion was decided in an 18-hole playoff.
Winner: Payne Stewart, 282
Where it was played: Hazeltine National Golf Club in Chaska, Minnesota
Tournament dates: June 13-17, 1991
Leader after first round: Payne Stewart and Nolan Henke, 67

Notable Notes: Payne Stewart and Scott Simpson were tied at 282 after four rounds of golf, so they played a fifth round - the 18-hole playoff. And they were still tied through 16 holes of the playoff, but then Stewart parred the final two holes while Simpson bogied both, giving Stewart the 2-stroke victory. Stewart shot 75 in the playoff, Simpson 77.
