- It's fitting that a man with the last name Kite so deftly navigating Pebble Beach's unforgiving winds in the 1992 U.S. Open Championship.
Tom Kite hit one of the most memorable shots on one of the most memorable holes in golf -- No. 7 at Pebble Beach -- to win his only major championship title. He talks about that shot and the week that was in 1992 during this episode of "My U.S. Open," in partnership with Rolex.
Kite also has the distintion of being the runner-up to Jack in his last major win ('86 Masters) and to Tiger in his first ('97 Masters).
Nobody deserved to win a major more than Tom Kite.
Definitely one of the greatest rounds ever played...brutal conditions - a lot of scores north of 80 that day. Kite was the best golfer that day, and a very worthy champion.
12 Top 10s at The Masters and 9 Top 5s...mind boggling record without ever winning. Still an all time great in my book and he was always one of my favorite players. Only one Major, but certainly had the talent to be a 3-6 time Major winner
Such a different time. When I began following professional golf (1994) Kite was the all-time leading money winner with around 8 million or so. Within ten years Tiger, and even Vijay, had racked up that total in a single season. This was one of the all-time rounds of golf. Brutal conditions and such small greens. He was a VERY deserving champion.
Wonderful memories and great to hear it from the man himself. Thank you USGA.
He played a lot in New England he was great a tremendous guy incredibly consistent
What of the great rounds ever played, conditions were just brutal that day... Everyone thought monty had won being level and in hours before everyone else..... But kite was holing putts all over, his chipping and wedge play were unbelievable too..... Worthy champion, and long over due
Tom had the game to win 3-4 majors. He came close many times against really great players. His US Open win at Pebble was a product of hard work over all those years. He is a great champion.
Tom Kite was a phenomenal player, top money winner of his time. I remember 1986 Masters he was tied with Seve & Nicklaus and -8, it's the only time I rooted against Tom because I wanted the Golden Bear to win one more time.
Wow, that bunker shot on 17 was one of the best shots I've ever seen. Thank you Mr. Kite for being a great champion!
I watching that entire final round. Tom that was one of the greatest rounds of golf in conditions like that I’ve ever seen in my life!!!!
This was one of my favorite Opens. Tom is a class A competitor. You know you're doing something right when Harvey Penick sings your praises.
Congrats, Tom Kite! I've never seen this story, or at least, haven't after I gained much respect for you and Crenshaw by reading the Little Red Book. Awesome performance.
I love these videos.
Man these are awesome. Good work usga
His short game that day might have been the greatest played in a golf tournament ever.
This was my first us open
For a pro that I watched growing up on the other side of the world. To a giggle from this other side of the world when you pull hooked your shot of the left gallery...
