US Open began in 1954 to showcase the best U.S. players battling the best in the world. Once the U.S. re-established a closed National in 1970, the Open lost its luster and sponsorship and within a few years disappeared altogether. In 1979 Wes Schoppe organized a yearly international event at the Manhattan Beach BC. Finally, in 1983 he managed to resurrect a new U.S. Open.
