Congressional Country Club Prints
The Blue Course at two U.S. Opens: the 17th in 1997 and the 10th in 2011.
Linda Hartough's Congressional prints come from two of its U.S. Opens: the 17th, painted for 1997, and the 10th, the downhill par 3 over water, painted for 2011, the year Rory McIlroy set the scoring record.
The Blue is a rolling parkland course with large greens, many guarded by water or deep bunkers, and it has been rearranged over the years as championships demanded. For the 2011 U.S. Open, the 10th was a par 3 played downhill over water, while the 17th, a par 4 with water beside the green, is among the holes remembered from the 1997 Open.
Congressional has hosted the U.S. Open three times. Ken Venturi won in 1964, playing the final 36 holes on a single day in severe heat. Ernie Els won in 1997. Rory McIlroy won in 2011 with what was then the lowest 72-hole score in U.S. Open history. The club also hosted the 1976 PGA Championship and, for several years, PGA Tour events including the Kemper Open.
Choosing a Congressional print
The 2011 10th is the most flexible: canvas at 12"x20" or 21"x36", grande canvas at 36"x60", or 15 3/8"x27" fine art paper. The 1997 17th is published as a 21"x36" canvas.
