1998 U.S. Open Winner and Scores
The 1998 U.S. Open was the 98th edition of the tournament, and the winner became a two-time champion.
Winner: Lee Janzen, 280
Where it was played: Olympic Club (Lake Course) in San Francisco, California
Tournament dates: June 18-21, 1998
Leader after first round: Payne Stewart, 66
Leader after second round: Payne Stewart, 137
Leader after third round: Payne Stewart, 207
Notable Notes: Entering the final round, it was Payne Stewart's tournament to lose, and he lost it. Or, rather, Lee Janzen won it. Stewart led by four strokes entering the final round, and by five over Janzen. Stewart's final-round 74 was not terrible, but Janzen's 68 was much better. Good enough to generate a one-stroke victory for Janzen, who won the U.S. Open for the second time. At one point in the final round, Janzen trailed by seven.
