Watson became the fifth to win the U.S. Open and the Open Championship in the same year, joining fellow Americans Bobby Jones (1926, 1930), Gene Sarazen (1932), Ben Hogan (1953), and Lee Trevino (1971).https://www.si.com/vault/1982/07/26/624656/a-fourth-on-the-firth Sports Illustrated Jenkins Dan Dan Jenkins A fourth on the firth 26 July 1982 14 Tiger Woods later won both in 2000.
Watson's previous three Open wins also came in Scotland, at Carnoustie (1975), Turnberry (1977), and Muirfield (1980). His fifth victory in the Open in 1983 came at Royal Birkdale in England.
