A medal and museum for Nicklaus

Published



SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Jack Nicklaus will always be linked with his four U.S. Open titles — not just in the record book, but on the gold medal given to the winner.

Starting this year, the U.S. Open champion will receive the “Jack Nicklaus Medal.” The medal has been awarded to the winner every year since the U.S. Open began in 1895. It previously did not have a name. The winner also gets a silver trophy, which doesn’t have a name.
