Event and Course Notes

First time Pinehurst No. 2 has hosted the U.S. Open since 2014 (Martin Kaymer won)
Kaymer famously used the “Texas Wedge” anytime he was off the green
Slightly different test than we see for a typical U.S. Open
While the course is long, it should play firm and fast
Rather than thick rough, golfers will have to contend with sandy waste areas
A lot of luck comes into play when hitting into these areas, can get good or bad lies
Golfers will have options off the tee, can be aggressive or lay back
Total driving should be more important than raw distance
Golfers will have a ton of long irons this week, even the bombers
Only two Par 5s on the course and both are over 580 yards
Raised greens that are also contoured, they will repel errant approach shots
Very little rough around the greens, which creates tricky tight lie chips
Scrambling from the fairway might be something to look at this week
I’m expecting this to be a test of precision and mental fortitude

What to Look For

Strokes gained approach
Total driving
Proximity with long irons (175+ yards)
Bogey avoidance
Strokes gained around the green (or scrambling from the fairway)
Major experience
