Congratulations to this year's 2016 Virtual U.S. Open Champion, Tour Legend remangrum.

Each Virtual U.S. Open features stiff competition in the Championship round and this year was no exception. The Level 104 remangrum (USA) edged out the next three finishers by one and two strokes.

This included the reigning champion poldimaier, who won back-to-back titles (2014, 2015) and finished this year tied for third place with fmagnets, with a final score of 228.

Champion tier UBCLU546 (USA) finished in second place, a stroke behind first, with a total score of 227.

As this year's champion, remangrum wins a grand prize trip for two to attend the 2017 U.S. Open Championship at Erin Hills, as special guests of the USGA, plus a $500 gift card to USGAshop.com

Throughout the summer, WGT players competed on Oakmont in various Virtual U.S. Open tournaments hosted on WGT, experiencing the same challenges, triumphs and struggles as players did in this year's U.S. Open. Congratulations to all of the tournament leaderboard winners.

Compete against other WGT Country Clubs today and tomorrow for club status and in-game rewards, including these ferocious dinosaurs!

Play Free

CC Events allow WGT Country Clubs to compete against each other for golf glory and special in-game rewards. The club that earns the most total points from their Clashes wins.

Each Event is made up of Club Clashes that last for a limited amount of time (usually a few hours). When your club enters the event, you'll get matched with another club close to your skill level, and a timer will show how much time is left in that Clash. Club members from both clubs can play as many rounds as they want during that time, using Club Passes and Superpasses to earn points.
