4. Tiger Woods

Answer: 2008

Tiger Woods won the 2008 US Open at Torrey Pines - South Course in a playoff against Rocco Mediate. Woods forced a playoff with a birdie on the final hole.

Of note, Woods played with a badly injured knee which was a precursor to a series of surgeries.
5. Jordan Spieth

The venue was the first time this tournament had been hosted in the Northwest Pacific region of the USA. Spieth's victory was his first at this event and was in doubt until the final hole.

He birdied the last hole while Johnson had a three-putt par to deny himself of at least a playoff. Later in the year, Jordan Spieth was named PGA Player of the Year.
6. Graeme McDowell

Answer: 2010

8. Dustin Johnson

Answer: 2016

9. Justin Rose

Answer: 2013

Justin Rose won the 2013 US Open at Merion-East Course by two strokes ahead of second place finishers Phil Mickelson and Jason Day.

10. Webb Simpson

Answer: 2012
