The 1921 U.S. Open was the 25th U.S. Open, held July 21–22 at Columbia Country Club in Chevy Chase, Maryland, a suburb northwest of Washington, D.C.. Jim Barnes won his only U.S. Open, nine strokes ahead of runners-up Walter Hagen and Fred McLeod.[1] It was the third of Barnes' four major championships.
Barnes shot an opening round 69 and led wire-to-wire; he led McLeod by four after the second round,[2] and by seven through 54 holes. President Warren G. Harding was in attendance for the final round and presented the championship trophy to Barnes.
Chick Evans, the 1916 champion, edged 19-year-old Bobby Jones by a single stroke for low amateur, finishing alone in fourth place.
