This was the last of his 17 wins on the PGA Tour. Heavy rains before the tournament allowed for some low scores in the early rounds, with a record 38 under-par rounds in the first two rounds. During the second round, four players (Jerry Pate, Nick Price, Doug Weaver, and Mark Wiebe) recorded holes-in-one at the downhill 167 yd on 6th hole, the most hole-in-ones in U.S. Open history.https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=POlRAAAAIBAJ&sjid=zm4DAAAAIBAJ&pg=5821%2C5448906 Pittsburgh Post-Gazette (Rochester Democrat and Chronicle) Four holes-in-one on No.6 June 17, 1989 23https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=POlRAAAAIBAJ&sjid=zm4DAAAAIBAJ&pg=5735%2C5449945 Pittsburgh-Post Gazette Associated Press Would you believe four aces on 6th?

Third round Saturday, June 17, 1989 Overnight rains thoroughly soaked the already saturated course and caused a delay in the start. Instead of pairs, the players went off on split tees in groupings of three, a first at the U.S. Open.
