The U.S. Open is back at Winged Foot Golf Club for the first time in 14 years.
The large gap in time between the two competitions means few golfers in the field have experience on the course.
According to PGA Tour Communications, there are 16 players in this week's field that competed in 2006. Six of them, including Tiger Woods, missed the cut.
Woods is one of many players that have pointed out the difficulties Winged Foot should present over four rounds.
If the conditions live up to the hype, we could see golfers be happy with a consistent round of pars, instead of scorecards filled with birdies.
