In Colorado, there’s a short list of clubs that meet USGA’s standards in terms of design, toughness, credibility, history, corporate/marketing support and the infrastructure needed to host an event of the U.S. Open’s magnitude. “Look at 2014, when the course was pretty dry and played pretty tricky, and you had guys like Rory four-putting,” Cherry Hills president Kim Koehen said. “And this week, the young players can hit it a long way, but they still had to put it in play, avoid thick rough and putt well on fast, tricky greens.
