The 2014 United States Open Championship was the 114th U.S. Open , played June 12–15 at the No. 2 Course of the Pinehurst Resort in Pinehurst, North Carolina .[ 2]
Martin Kaymer led wire-to-wire to win his first U.S. Open and second major title, eight strokes ahead of runners-up Erik Compton and Rickie Fowler . He was the first to open a major with two rounds of 65 or better, and set a U.S. Open record for lowest 36-hole score at 130. From Germany , Kaymer was the first from continental Europe to win the U.S. Open and the fourth European winner in five years.
Venue
This was the third U.S. Open played at Pinehurst's No. 2 Course and first after the 2010 Coore & Crenshaw restoration which stripped the course of all of its rough and returned it to its original design. The past champions were: Payne Stewart in 1999 and Michael Campbell in 2005 . Designed by Donald Ross , the No. 2 Course opened in 1907 and also hosted the PGA Championship in 1936 and the Ryder Cup in 1951 . The course hosted the 2014 U.S. Women's Open the following week, the first time the two championships were played on the same course in the same year.[ 3]

This was the last U.S. Open for NBC Sports , which had televised the event for twenty consecutive years, 1995–2014. Starting in 2015 , Fox Sports began a 12-year contract to televise the championship and other USGA events, which it ended early before the 2020 U.S. Open , where NBC regained coverage due to scheduling conflicts with Fox's NFL and college football coverage caused by the tournament's postponement due to the COVID-19 pandemic .
