U.S Open, Erin Hills, Wisconsin

The 117th U.S Open will be hosted in the heart of Wisconsin this year where the Erin Hills course takes pride in its naturally shaped land, which boasts a course rating of 77.9 and a slope of 145. This year the U.S Open will be more challenging as players will need to defy the many sand traps, nicknames “erosion bunkers” some with narrow passages just a foot across. The challenging course will no doubt make for an interesting game.
