Every value is shown as recorded in GNN's U.S. Open data. A value no source confirmed is left out; nothing is estimated. Where sources disagree, the organizer's own record is used.

Data: us-open-years.json (the U.S. Open room's data); dates from GNN's U.S. Open final-day dates table (Wikipedia infoboxes).
