This Open set a record for sup-par rounds at 89; the previous record was 66 in 1988. The par-72 Pete Dye-designed course was set at {{convert|6311|yd}}, the third-longest in the championship's 48-year history. Only nine rounds were under par on Sunday.

Two years earlier, Crooked Stick was the venue for the PGA Championship, won by John Daly. It later hosted the Solheim Cup matches in 2005, won by the United States.
