William Law Anderson (21 October 1879 – 25 October 1910) was a Scottish-American golfer who became the first man to win four U.S. Opens, with victories in 1901, 1903, 1904, and 1905. Although Bobby Jones, Ben Hogan, and Jack Nicklaus equalled his total of four championships, Anderson remains the only man to win three consecutive U.S. Open titles, as of 2026. He is a member of the World Golf Hall of Fame.
