PEBBLE BEACH, Ca. - After a string of U.S. Open screw-ups which angered the players and drew sniggers from fans, the United States Golf Association admitted on Wednesday it was “critical” they get it right this year.
With three of the last four U.S. Opens descending into controversy, the USGA has been pressed into full damage control mode, vowing to make this year’s event a demanding but fair test. But it was last year at Shinnecock Hills where player rage peaked when Phil Mickelson deliberately hit a moving ball on the 13th green to protest at what he deemed an unfair hole location.
“I think we’ve listened intently,” said Bodenhamer. “I know I’ve had individual conversations with a number of our past champions.“But we are better from listening to those perspectives. And we’ve engaged them.“But in the end, we have to make a decision about what we think is best for the championship.”Certainly, the USGA knows what challenges await with the U.S. Open being staged on the iconic layout for a sixth time.
