UCLA's Omar Morales, who will kick off this U.S. Open, might be most familiar with LACC

LOS ANGELES – It’s no secret that few players in this U.S. Open field have any measure of experience around Los Angeles Country Club.

Max Homa shot 61 here at the 2013 Pac-12 Championship, a tournament that included a few other current competitors, including Jon Rahm.

Collin Morikawa and Scottie Scheffler were members of the 2017 U.S. Walker Cup team, with Morikawa going 4-0 to lead the Americans to a dominant victory around the George Thomas gem.

And then there’s UCLA sophomore Omar Morales, a final qualifier who estimates he’s played LACC nearly two dozen times in the past two years.
