9 is a reference to Tony Jacklin winning the US open with 281 on the Hazeltine course.

That was also the day when Jacklin shot another 70 and pushed his lead to four strokes over Hill. The Englishman followed with a third 70 in a row on Sunday for a 281 total -- 7 under par and seven strokes clear of runner-up Hill.

No British golfer had won the U.S. Open for 50 years before him, and no British golfer has won in the 32 years since. It would be another 30 years before an Open winner won by as many strokes and led for all four rounds. Tiger Woods was that player, winning by 15 at Pebble Beach in 2000.

Yet, Jacklin's dominant performance always will remain the secondary story line from Hazeltine's first U.S. Open. Hill's shots at Hazeltine, as painful as they were to the club membership, helped lead to extensive remodeling that made this an infinitely more appreciated golf course
