UNIVERSITY PLACE, Washington (Reuters) - One of the longest layouts ever to host a golf major, Chambers Bay was made for big-hitting American Dustin Johnson who has muscled his way into contention at this week's U.S. Open.
Boasting the three longest par-fours ever seen at a U.S. Open, the links-style course has brought some of golf's biggest names to their knees, including 14-time major winner Tiger Woods, defending champion Martin Kaymer and Players championship winner Rickie Fowler who all missed the cut on Friday.
Johnson, meanwhile, has spent two days at or near the top of the leaderboard with a remarkable display of power from the tee and a deft touch around the slick, undulating greens.
