It’s officially U.S. Open week.
The third men’s major of the year and 122nd playing of the USGA’s flagship championship takes place at The Country Club in Brookline, Massachusetts, for the third time and first since 1988 this week. The Championship Course will play 7,254 yards to a par of 70.
Defending champion Jon Rahm highlights a strong field that includes world No. 1 and Masters champion Scottie Scheffler, as well as PGA champion Justin Thomas and last week’s winner at the RBC Canadian Open, Rory McIlroy. Also in the field are Phil Mickelson, Dustin Johnson, Louis Oosthuizen, Kevin Na and others who participated in the controversial Saudi Arabia-backed LIV Golf Invitational Series event in London. Last week the USGA announced that the LIV competitors would be eligible to play in the U.S. Open.
