By Brent Kelley, About.com

Question: What is the Largest Margin of Victory in a U.S. Open?

Answer: Tiger Woods blew away the field at Pebble Beach in 2000, setting a record for most strokes under par (12-under) and tying the scoring record for total strokes (272). His margin of victory was 15 over runners-up Ernie Els and Miguel Angel Jimenez.

In fact, this is the largest margin of victory in any major, not just in the U.S. Open.
