Tiger Woods(-12)

Runner-up: Ernie Els

Tiger Woods won by 15 strokes, the largest margin of victory in any major championship. His score of -12 (272) was remarkable given the US Open setup. Woods hit only one fairway bunker all week and made only one bogey after the 30th hole. Ernie Els and Miguel Angel Jimenez tied for second at +3. Considered the greatest performance in major championship history.
