Jason Dufner hit this many greens (out of 72), which was two more than any other playing during the championship. The in-form Dufner, who has two wins this season, averaged 12.5 greens per round and finished the event in a tie for fourth, two shots behind winner Webb Simpson, on a total of three-over-par.
66
Was the low round of the week. The unheralded Michael Thompson, who eventually finished in a share of second place, fired the four-under-par total early on day one. Thompson finished the tournament with more birdies than anyone in the field – 16 – and closed with a sparkling 67, which offset middle round scores of 75 and 74.
190
The distance, in yards, that Nick Watney's miraculous five-iron shot for an albatross on the 17th hole during the first round travelled. It was the third albatross – or double eagle – in US Open history following TC Chen's in 1985 and Shaun Micheel's in 2010.
281
Webb Simpson's winning total – which equated to one-over-par – was the highest at a US Open held at the Olympic Club since Jack Fleck's remarkable play-off win over the legendary Ben Hogan in 1955. Fleck and Hogan had been tied at 287 through 72 holes.
339.3
Was Nicolas Colsaerts' average driving distance, in yards, during the tournament. The mega-hitting Belgian underlined his status as the longest player in professional golf by besting second-ranked Angel Cabrera by over 20 yards. Colsaerts translated that power into a tie for 27th, although he could have finished much higher were it not for a lacklustre 76 in the final round.
344
The length, in yards, of the 18th hole at Olympic Club, which is considered short for a par-four but nonetheless conceded only six birdies during the final round. The hole was the sixth hardes0074, playing to an average of 4.3.
