Robert Trent Jones Jr.
Of course, Mike Davis didn't design Chambers Bay. That distinction belongs to Robert Trent Jones Jr., who got the job of creating the first golf course designed specifically to host a U.S. Open. His father and brother, Rees, have both been known as the "Open Doctor," but this week is big brother's big opportunity. Bobby, 75, has had an incredible career as a golf course architect that spans over 50 years, but he'll probably be remembered most -- favorably or unfavorably -- for this links layout.
