Ten Things to Know about Round 4 of the 123rd U.S. Open at LACC

With all the talk about the scores being too low, the course playing too easy, the fairways being too wide and the greens running too soft, something happened.  The North Course at Los Angeles Country Club proved the U.S. Open is not a sprint.  It's a marathon.

Wyndham Clark won his first major championship putting on a display of incredible shotmaking, savage grit, and unflappable poise.  In only his third U.S. Open appearance, being chased down by four-time major champion Rory McIlroy, World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, and paired with fan favorite Rickie Fowler... Clark didn't blink.

Ten Things to Know about Round 3 of the 123rd U.S. Open at LACC

The North Course at Los Angeles Country Club may not be destroying player's souls like some U.S. Open venues do.  But LACC North is identifying the best players this week and testing their complete games.

Los Angeles Country Club North Course Review: The Front-9 (2023 U.S. Open)

At some point during this week's 123rd U.S. Open, players will grumble they don't like a particular hole or two on the North Course at Los Angeles Country Club, which is hosting the championship for the first time.  A hot mic might catch someone throwing expletives after their tee shot on No. 13 doesn't hold the severely canted fairway.  Other players might be entirely disgusted to find their errant shots in the tall, clumping fescue that pinches the narrowest green on the North at No. 9.

But as The Rock might tell them, "It doesn't matter if you like LACC North!"  And he'd be right.  What matters is if the players can conquer it.  Because this is the United States Open baby!  The toughest test in golf.  And LACC North will also show it's the most complete test in golf.

Fowler Stands Firm at LACC; 36-Hole Leader By One

A bright yellow sphere made an appearance on Friday at The Los Angeles Country Club that likely left a few people red in the face. A lack of sun and wind that had left the North Course a bit exposed for the game’s best players on Day 1 of the 123rd U.S. Open Championship became part of the mix in Round 2.

USGA officials came up with a game plan for the expected morning marine layer by setting up the course to its scorecard length – 7,423 yards (par 70) – including two par 3s that measured 290-plus yards and a par 4 (555-yard 16th) that played longer than one of the par 5s (the 535-yard eighth).

California Dreaming: Record Day (62) For Fowler, Schauffele

One year ago, Rickie Fowler milled around The Country Club in Brookline, Mass., signing a few autographs, pounding balls on the range and chatting up competitors, caddies and fans. Basically, he did everything but hit a shot that counted in the 2022 U.S. Open.

As an alternate – the next guy into the field if any player withdrew – all the affable Fowler could do was wait and hope for the call to come. It never did, and he left without competing in the National Open for a second consecutive year.
