I love the course, but I have to admit I have wondered this numerous times. There are tons of great, more established tracks in the country that have not hosted an Open, why not go to one of these? Just seems like a huge risk to gamble on a brand new course like that.
I saw a story last weekend on how the course was developed and basically groomed to be a US Open course. While watching it, I couldn't help but wonder if they took a page from FIFA's handbook in trying to get selected for the U.S. Open rotation.
