Chambers out, Bandon in as 2019 Four-Ball venue

The USGA announced a venue shift for the 2019 U.S. Amateur Four-Ball Championship, with Bandon Dunes replacing Chambers Bay.

The change comes in order to accommodate a "turfgrass transition project" at Chambers Bay, which previously hosted the 2015 U.S. Open. The University Place, Wash., layout is still in the midst of switching from fescue to poa annua greens and will now instead host the team event in 2021.

In steps Bandon Dunes as a replacement, as the Oregon resort will now add Four-Ball hosting duties to its previously announced role as venue for the 2020 U.S. Amateur.
