1904 U.S. Open

The 1904 U.S. Open was held July 8–9, 1904, at Glen View Club in Golf, Illinois. Willie Anderson won his second consecutive, and third overall, U.S. Open title by five strokes over Gilbert Nicholls. Mackenzie finished in third place, shooting rounds of 76-79-74-80=309, and won $125.[1]

Defending champion Willie Anderson shared the lead with Stewart Gardner at the end of the first round. He fell two behind Gardner, however, after the second. In the third round, Mackenzie shot a 74 to take a two-shot lead over Anderson and Gardner heading to the last. Mackenzie and Gardner fell back during the final round, with Mackenzie shooting an 80 to finish in third and Gardner carding 85 to fall to sixth. Anderson, however, posted a 72, the lowest round in U.S. Open history. His 303 total also established a new tournament record. Nicholls posted a 73 in the final round to finish in second place.[1]
