What We Know: Course Conditions

Prior to every U.S. Open tournament, one of the main storylines leading up to the event is how the course is going to play based on the recommendations by the USGA. The U.S. Open, year in and year out, is typically the toughest major statistically, with the winner score over the last three years at 6-under par.

This year appears to be different, and fans should anticipate a course set that will play firm and fast. The penal rough that is standard in the U.S. Open might not be as long as in the past because of recent weather conditions, but off the fairways, the course has tilted and awkward lies that will challenge a player’s second shot.

LACC offers some of the widest fairways compared to recent U.S. Open venues, with an average width of 43 yards. However, many of the fairways have to be played to certain sides or landing spots, or you will watch your ball tumble into the rough off steep slopes.

Finally, many of the green complexes on the North Course were renovated back to their original state. Many of the greens have distinct undulation and are oddly shaped compared to your typical PGA tournament.

Par is a Good Score

As we mentioned above, opportunities to score will be few and far between this week. There have been only three instances over the last 20 years where the winning score was ten strokes under par or more. The USGA prides itself on keeping the winning tally as close to even par as possible.

With that being said, walking away with a par is the desired outcome. There will be birdie opportunities, but bogey avoidance and scrambling will be two statistics that will pay dividends this week.

Expect the winning score to hover around the 10-under mark as the elite players take advantage of possibly shorter rough and the wider fairways.

US Open Final Review

Heading into the tournament, the Southern California weather conditions should be favorable all week, so players’ tee times shouldn’t matter as much as other majors. How the course is playing will be something to follow as the first wave of players tee off early Thursday morning.

Like many majors, expect a surprise name or two near the top of the leaderboard early on in the tournament, but as the tournament progresses, the top players in the world will rise to the top.
