After a week of grinding through the US Open’s tough set up, inconsistent greens, and annual slugfest of international heavyweights, the Travelers Championship has a tough act to follow. The short par 70 TPC River Highlands lends itself to low scores and an entirely different approach than a US Open track. Scoring will be, and always is low, and is often referred to as a ‘shootout’ – a category the US Open would rarely fall into. Many of the contenders from last week are scheduled to play this week in CT, so it should be interesting to see how they follow up their performances at Chambers Bay.

The second major of the year is upon us! This year the 115th edition of the U.S. Open will be held in the Pacific Northwest (for the first time ever) at Chambers Bay in University Place, Washington. The Robert Trent Jones, Jr. course is a links-style layout and is only 8 years-old. The par-70 course should play around 7,700 yards although it could be maxed out at a whopping 7,906 yards.

This week the PGA Tour heads to Muirfield Village for Jack Nicklaus’ Memorial Tournament. As usual, thanks to its honorable host, the event has drawn a strong field with Spieth, Rose, Fowler, Day and Dustin Johnson headlining. Tiger will be in the mix as well, playing in his first tournament since the PLAYERS and only his fifth of 2015.
