History of U.S. Open at Shinnecock Hills
This was the fourth U.S. Open hosted by Shinnecock Hills. The former champions were James Foulis (1896), Raymond Floyd (1986), and Corey Pavin (1995). The second U.S. Open was held at Shinnecock in 1896, but ninety years went by before it hosted again. The 1986 edition was held on a completely revamped course. Floyd, age 43, entered the final round three shots behind and shot a 66 in difficult scoring conditions to win his fourth major.
The conditions were similar in 1995, with no one under par. Pavin played the final ten holes in three-under-par on the way to a 68 and the win. He hit a memorable 4-wood to the 72nd green to within 5 ft and finished at even par 280.

Second round
Friday, June 18, 2004
Phil Mickelson surged into the lead, trying to become the sixth to win the first two majors of the year, with a bogey-free 66.https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=WU5WAAAAIBAJ&sjid=6esDAAAAIBAJ&pg=6310%2C4294073 Eugene Register-Guard Oregon (Los Angeles Times) Dufresne Chris Masters magic hasn't worn off for Mickelson June 19, 2004 D1 He tied for the lead with Shigeki Maruyama, who bogeyed the 18th hole and shot 68. Ernie Els had four consecutive birdies in a round of 67. Jeff Maggert was in solo third at five-under-par with a 67, while Fred Funk and Retief Goosen both shot 66 to tie for fourth. Ángel Cabrera had a crazy day after a 66 to shoot a 71. Corey Pavin, the previous champion at Shinnecock in 1995, tied with Vijay Singh at four strokes back. Tiger Woods shot 69 for 141 (+1), tied for 18th. World Number 4 Davis Love III missed the cut, as did David Duval.
Jay Haas (E) and amateur Bill Haas (+5) were the second father and son to make the cut in the same U.S. Open; it was first accomplished 56 years earlier in 1948 by Joe Kirkwood Sr. and Joe Kirkwood Jr.

Third round
Saturday, June 19, 2004
Retief Goosen battled his way into a two-shot lead on Saturday as Shinnecock Hills presented its stiffest test of the week. He held his nerve in challenging conditions to card a one-under 69 for 205 (−5), and was one of only three to break par.https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=Wk5WAAAAIBAJ&sjid=6esDAAAAIBAJ&pg=1566%2C4624030 Eugene Register-Guard Oregon (Los Angeles Times) Dufresne Chris Goosen survives blustery third-round with two-shot edge June 20, 2004 D1 Second round leader Phil Mickelson bogeyed the last two holes for a share of second place with two-time champion Ernie Els.

Jeff Maggert's 74 dropped him into a tie for sixth with Tim Clark, who had 66, the best of the day; Tiger Woods eagled the 18th for 73 and Vijay Singh stumbled with a 77.https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=Wk5WAAAAIBAJ&sjid=6esDAAAAIBAJ&pg=6668%2C4631807 Eugene Register-Guard Oregon Associated Press Newberry Paul Woods gets ray of hope on frustrating day June 20, 2004 D3

Final round
Sunday, June 20, 2004
Retief Goosen held his nerve and won his second U.S. Open, edging out Phil Mickelson by two shots with a closing 71 (+1) on Sunday to finish at four-under 276. Conditions were brutal on the final day when the average final-round score was 78.7 and no one was under par.https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=ZOROAAAAIBAJ&sjid=zx8EAAAAIBAJ&pg=4384%2C1309441 Star-News Wilmington, North Carolina (Milwaukee Journal Sentinel) USGA under fire June 21, 2004 6Chttps://news.google.com/newspapers?id=jDcqAAAAIBAJ&sjid=eUUEAAAAIBAJ&pg=6571%2C113153 Milwaukee Journal Sentinel D'Amato Gary Kelly blasts Open officials June 21, 2004 8C August 2026 InternetArchiveBot Mickelson, urged on by raucous New York galleries on a windswept sunny afternoon, completed a matching 71 for his third runner-up spot in the last six U.S. Opens. Goosen led by two going into the final day, but was overtaken by Mickelson in the closing stretch, with back-to-back birdies on 15 and 16. But Mickelson, bidding to become the sixth player to win the first two majors of the year, immediately fell back with a double-bogey at the par-three 17th, three-putting from 5 ft in. In the final pair with compatriot Ernie Els, Goosen restored his two-shot advantage with a 12 ft on in birdie putt on 16 and parred the final two holes to seal the title.
In a nearly unprecedented action, the USGA watered a few of the greens during play including the 7th green when players were not able to prevent the ball from rolling off. As a result, the leaders faced much easier playing conditions than the rest of the field and the final 5 groups had a scoring average of 75.9, compared to the field's 78.7, including 3 of the 5 lowest rounds of the day.March 2021
Jeff Maggert (72) finished third at one-over 281, while 2003 Masters champion Mike Weir (74) and Shigeki Maruyama (76) were three shots further back at 284 in a tie for fourth. World number two Els, joint second overnight with Mickelson, produced four double-bogeys on his way to an 80 (+10), his worst score in a U.S. Open, and tied for ninth at 287. Top-ranked Tiger Woods, who began nine shots off the lead, battled to a 76 and a share of 17th place. A mix of five bogeys, a double-bogey and a birdie at the last left him at 290 (+10) as he narrowly avoided his worst round at a U.S. Open. His career high of 77 came as an amateur in 1996, in the third round at Oakland Hills. Robert Allenby had the low round of the day at even-par 70; three birdies and three bogeys lifted him into a tie for seventh with Steve Flesch at six-over 286; Fred Funk (77) was alone in sixth on 285.
