Rumors circulate on future U.S. Open venues

SAN DIEGO – While the USGA celebrates the U.S. Open’s return to Torrey Pines, there is an undercurrent that suggests the USGA may be moving away from public venues like the South Course for the national championship.

Although Torrey Pines was the site of what many consider the most compelling U.S. Open of this generation, in 2008 there has been rumors that the USGA may be considering a more traditional rotation. It’s a concept that sits well with at least one top player.

“I would be in favor of that. I like that,” Rory McIlroy said on Wednesday.
