One major down, three to go.
Golf's focus will turn to the U.S. Open in June, when the national championship returns to Winged Foot Golf Club in Mamaroneck, N.Y.
Fuzzy Zoeller won the last U.S. Open at the course (1984), and Davis Love III won his only major there at the 1997 PGA Championship.
In July, the British Open returns to Royal Liverpool for the first time in 39 years. Roberto De Vicenzo won the game's oldest championship there in 1967 for his only major.
The major season concludes in August with the PGA Championship, which will be held at Medinah No. 3, outside Chicago.
In 1999, Tiger Woods held off hard-charging Sergio Garcia at Medinah for his second major championship.
