I don't believe in superstitions. I just do certain things because I'm scared in case something will happen if I don't do them.

Golf US Open
The U.S. Open, one of the four major championships in professional golf, is organized by the United States Golf Association (USGA). The tournament was first held in 1895 on a nine-hole course at the Newport Country Club in Rhode Island. It was a 36-hole competition, played in a single day, and was won by Horace Rawlins, an Englishman.
The tournament format has evolved over the years, moving to a 72-hole event (four rounds of 18 holes) played over four days. The U.S. Open is known for its challenging courses, set up in such a way that scoring is very difficult, with a premium placed on accurate driving.
The U.S. Open has been host to some of the most memorable moments in golf history, with victories by legendary players like Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer, Ben Hogan, and Tiger Woods. It has played a significant role in the careers of these players, helping to establish their reputations and enhance their status in the sport.
The tournament's importance lies in its prestige and the challenge it presents. It is considered one of the toughest tests in golf, with the winner earning the title of national champion. Its rigorous course setups often mean that even the best players can struggle, making for exciting and unpredictable play. The U.S. Open also has a significant financial impact, with a multi-million dollar prize fund and a substantial boost to the local economy of the host site.
In addition, the U.S. Open's global television coverage and media attention help to promote golf as a sport and contribute to its growth and popularity worldwide. The tournament is also unique in that it maintains an open qualifying process, meaning that any professional golfer or amateur with a low handicap has the chance to qualify and compete.
