The USGA has received plenty of criticism in the past for its exacting setups at the US Open, so the complaining seen from Kevin Na in this video at 2017 US Open venue Erin Hills is par for the course.
Though this rough does look pretty gnarly.
Erin Hills is a great design course but the fescue is almost unplayable. BTW never found the ball. So don't hit it in there lol. straight hitters have a chance! #usopen #erinhills #mikedavis #lostball #usga
And add that onto a course yardage that’s closer to 8,000 yards than ever before and you have a US Open that’s destined to have the winner finish over par.
US Open player credential clip for the week. 7741 yards but plays shorter. Forward tees will be played on few holes everyday. #usopen #erinhills #officialscorecard #usga
At least it will make the average hack like those of us sitting at home feel good about our own games, right?
