The 2014 U.S. Open is finally upon us, and the tournament returns to a notorious course that has undergone a drastic makeover since the last time it hosted this prestigious event.

Pinehurst Resort has been the site for some memorable U.S. Opens in the past. In 1999, Payne Stewart fought off a charge from Phil Mickelson to win his third major and his second U.S. Open.

Lefty might want the elusive victory even more than his legion of fans. Via ESPN.com's Bob Harig:
