Asmussen | Ex-Illini golfer ready to make new memories at U.S. Open

On Friday afternoon, Luke Guthrie waited out a storm in Greer, S.C.

During the break at the BMW Charity Pro-Am, one of the stops on the Web.com Tour, Guthrie talked about what's next for him.

On Monday, the former Illini golfer heads to Pebble Beach, Calif., for the U.S. Open, which begins on Thursday.

It won't be an easy trip. No private jet like Tiger Woods. He's flying from Atlanta to California. Guthrie plans to play a practice round Tuesday morning.

It won't be Guthrie's first time at Pebble Beach. He has played in three PGA Tour events on the historic course and also participated in off-season outings.
