U.S. Open preview: Schauffele looking to overcome ‘tough’ course
SDSU alumnus Xander Schauffele looks on after a drive during the 2013 season.Usually in a PGA season, a major golf tournament would not be the second tournament on the slate. But in the unprecedented world that we live in, it is.
The U.S. Open was originally supposed to be held in June, but because of COVID-19, it was pushed back to this weekend — about four months after its initial date.
The 120th U.S. Open will take place at Winged Foot Golf Club in Mamaroneck, New York, just 40 minutes outside New York City.
The last time the U.S. Open was held at Winged Foot was in 2006 when Geoff Ogilvy won the tournament with a +5 finish.
Yes, +5.
This is a tough course to score under par.
