The U.S. Open returns to Shinnecock Hills Golf Club in Southampton, New York, this week, where defending champion J.J. Spaun will be looking to hold off the field on one of the most storied courses in the country.
At par 70 and stretching roughly 7,440 yards, Shinnecock has a long history of humbling the world's best: Only Retief Goosen has managed to finish as low as -4 in the modern era. Brooks Koepka won there in 2018 at +1.
Spaun arrives as the man to beat, but several other former winners will be out on the course with him. This includes champions like Rory McIlroy, Jon Rahm, Dustin Johnson, and Jordan Spieth.
