US Open
Definition
The US Open, short for United States Open Tennis Championships, is one of the four major annual tennis tournaments, held on hard courts in New York City, drawing the world's top players for two weeks of baseline battles and dramatic tiebreakers.
The US Open is also a prestigious major championship in professional golf, rotating among top U.S. courses, where even the pros occasionally shank it into the rough like the rest of us.
Informally, 'US Open' can refer to other events like bowling or squash championships, but tennis and golf steal the spotlight.
