The U.S. Senior Open kicks off this week with 156 golfers in the field. Saucon Valley Country Club previously hosted this championship in 1992 and 2000.
Some big names will be playing the Old Course at Saucon, and here's a deep dive into the field and championship history.
The new Titleist TSR drivers – the next generation of the most played drivers on the PGA TOUR – are making their worldwide debut this week at the Travelers Championship.
Today’s introduction of the new TSR drivers, together with the new TSR fairway metals, marks the start of the tour seeding and validation process for the upcoming Titleist metalwoods line.
Matt Fitzpatrick is a champion once again at The Country Club.
The 27-year-old Englishman who triumphed nine years ago at this iconic venue when he claimed the U.S. Amateur, became just the 13th man and the first non-American to also add the U.S. Open Championship to his portfolio.
It's common in the golf industry for companies to say they won this tournament or that tournament when the player uses its clubs. Sometimes it can only be one club. And other times still that club was not really instrumental in the win.
When Matt Fitzpatrick won the US Open earlier today at The Country Club however, Mitsubishi Golf shafts played an absolutely crucial role in his breakout major championship victory.
Saucon Valley Country Club (Old Course) will host the 2022 U.S. Senior Open Championship next week and will be set up at 7,028 yards and play to a par of 36-35–71.
The yardage for each round of the championship will vary due to course setup and conditions.
If championship Sunday in the 122nd U.S. Open can match the high drama of Round 3 on Saturday at The Country Club, fans are in for a wild ride. The way the lead kept flipping, one almost felt sorry for the folks manning the leader boards.
By the end of a turbulent and challenging day when temperatures dropped into the 60s, winds gusted in the mid-20s and red numbers were replaced by red faces, two players seeking their first major championship – and a bit of history – led the way.
For Collin Morikawa, the last couple of months have been a search to regain the form that led to a pair of major titles. His five starts since a solo fifth at the Masters in April have resulted in no better than a tie for 26th. That stretch includes a missed cut at the Memorial Tournament and a T-55 in last month’s PGA Championship.
Those aren’t results that people are accustomed to seeing from the world No. 7.
Thirty-four years after it last hosted this championship, The Country Club in Brookline acquitted itself nicely on Thursday, yielding a mostly-tight-bunched set of scores in round one. After 18 holes, exactly half of the field (78 players) are at or within six shots of the lead. Six shots is how many Brooks Koepka was trailing by after round one when he won at Shinnecock just four years ago.
That’s to say, we’re just getting started.
Round 1 of a U.S. Open has a tendency to send observers to bio pages or Google. While there might be an occasional big name at the top of the leader board, the opening round is known for its surprises, and the 122nd championship that began Thursday at The Country Club followed that script.
How about an alternate leading the field? Adam Hadwin certainly is known in golf circles – he owns 12 professional wins, including one on the PGA Tour. But the 34-year-old Canadian, the first alternate from the Dallas final qualifier, wasn’t even in the field until Paul Casey withdrew on Monday.
Edel Golf is announcing the introduction of a game-changing technology in irons. The new SMS (Swing Match System) Irons are unlike any irons on the market. The adjustable Swing Match Weighting brings a level of customization to irons that hasn’t been seen in golf.
By moving the heaviest of the three weights to the ideal position for the golfer’s swing, it enables total clubface control. That can mean eliminating your miss right or left, improving face impact position, more distance, more accuracy, and optimized performance all around. Golfers have long been able to adjust their driver to their swing to customize and maximize their performance. The Edel SMS Irons do just that and the results are shockingly good.

Fujikura, the leader in performance golf shafts, was proud to be the winning driver shaft on the PGA, DP World and Korn Ferry Tour last week.
On the PGA Tour at the RBC Canadian Open, VENTUS claimed another driver shaft win with the eventual winner choosing to play VENTUS in all his woods. Capturing the title as the #1 player with strokes gained from tee to green, the winner used a VENTUS Black 6X in his driver, VENTUS Black 8X in his fairway wood and VENTUS Black 9X in his five wood. This win is the 19th driver shaft victory for Fujikura on the PGA Tour. With only 35 events played so far this season, this equates to a staggering 54.29% win percentage for Fujikura driver shafts on the PGA Tour.

As with previous models, it will still feature Adidas full-length BOOST cushioning technology for added comfort with every step.
