But even given some of the best courses in the US, the USGA has found a way to screw it up. What they did at Shinnecock is inexcusable.
The best American players didn’t always travel there to play... Ben Hogan went once, to Carnoustie in 1953, won... Never went back as an example.The Open Championship. It has the history and tradition. Links golf is challenging and interesting. I like how the R&A allows the players to play the course as the conditions are whether that is wind, rain or sun baked courses.
I have lost some respect for the US Open because of the USGA protect par attitude. That has resulted in somewhat unreasonable course conditions.
The answer is The United States Open, there is some recent bias caused by some poor decisions by the USGA with course selection (Chambers Bay & Erin Hills) in this thread.
When the US Open is at a traditional course (Oakmont, Shinnecock Hills, Winged Foot, or Pebble Beach) it is definitely the 2nd Best major...
But I’m one of those people that believe that 280 should win the US Open.
No doubt it’s a great course, but should it have hosted an US Open? Maybe not.Having played chambers bay. It was extremely poorly represented. It is a great course. Sure you there are more “Seattle” courses but chambers bay was just wrecked by the USGA. The. They tried to say the course was bad..
I think if properly set up and not ruined. It can totally host a major. Will it ever again? Absolutely not.No doubt it’s a great course, but should it have hosted an US Open? Maybe not.
I’m not defending the USGA, they lost Shinnecock twice when they shouldn’t have for example. I just think that the Rota should have come sooner. I think they are on the right track now.

I think that my issue with The Open is that out off all of the majors it’s the only one that you can win being on the right side of the weather draw...I think if properly set up and not ruined. It can totally host a major. Will it ever again? Absolutely not.
but that leads to my point on the open. Do they ever do anything to trick those course up ? Not that I am really aware of. They say here is the course, here is the wind, play well boys!

I feel like the US Open is the only Major that goes overly aggressive on the 'trickery' and it's backfired horribly more than it hasn't lately.I think if properly set up and not ruined. It can totally host a major. Will it ever again? Absolutely not.

How much longer do we need to suffer with Mike Davis?I feel like the US Open is the only Major that goes overly aggressive on the 'trickery' and it's backfired horribly more than it hasn't lately.
It's almost over!!!!!How much longer do we need to suffer with Mike Davis?
Serious hopes the next guy gets itIt's almost over!!!!!
This is a fair assessment...I feel like the US Open is the only Major that goes overly aggressive on the 'trickery' and it's backfired horribly more than it hasn't lately.
