Take a trip down memory lane with Jack Nicklaus and Michael Bamberger as they relive Nicklaus' epic 1980 U.S. Open victory.

USGA

This week should mark the start of the 120th U.S. Open at Winged Foot Golf Club in Mamaroneck, N.Y., but because of the coronavirus pandemic, the championship has been postponed until Sept. 17.

But if you still want your U.S. Open fix, you’re in luck, because on Monday, the USGA launched the U.S. Open Victory Club, an online community hub especially for U.S. Open fans. In addition to special access to championship events, merchandise and ticket offers, a club membership also includes access to exclusive content and stories throughout the year.
