NEW YORK, May 24, 2007 -- For the first time ever, American Express will drive an exciting array of fan experiences onsite and online leading up to the 2007 U.S. Open® at Oakmont Country Club. With activities ranging from on-site hospitality for Cardmembers to interactive historical displays and the opportunity to play Tiger's Scorecard Challenge(1), American Express will enhance the experience for golf fans. U.S. Open® Experience presented by American Express This onsite interactive area, open to all attendees, will feature fine photographs, films and other memorabilia from the USGA collection, highlighting a variety of past and upcoming U.S. Open® Championship venues.

The green will be surrounded by a collection of historic golf memorabilia, including: * Golf balls used by Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus in the 1962 U.S. Open playoff * Ben Hogan's 1-iron from the 1950 U.S. Open * Olin Dutra's 1934 U.S. Open medal * Spalding golf ball box with image of Bob Jones from the 1929 U.S. Open * Olin Dutra's miniature golf club from the 1934 U.S. Open * Johnny Miller's shoes from his 1973 U.S. Open record final round at Oakmont * Tiger Woods' wedge from the 2000 U.S. Open Photos of USGA memorabilia are available to the media upon request. While at the U.S. Open, Cardmembers can enjoy a "myLEADERBOARD"(2) handheld device to take out onto the course and track their favorite player (June 14 – 17) or relive the excitement of past U.S. Open Championships at the U.S. Open Classic Clips Viewing Station. During the entire week (June 11 – 17), Cardmembers who spend $200 or more on their American Express® Card at the Merchandise Pavilion can turn in their receipts and receive a commemorative poster(2) featuring select images from the USGA's book Classic Shots.
