Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy and Bryson DeChambeau are all at the U.S. Open trying to win the season's third major. But all eyes will be on one of the hardest golf courses in the world.
Despite calls from golfers to expand the checking of drivers across the field, USGA CEO Mike Whan says the governing body has no plans to change the way it conducts testing.
The USGA kept the prize fund for this week's U.S. Open at $21.5 million, on par with the 2024 championship. It remains the most lucrative purse of the major championships.
A very strong field and an extremely difficult course can't stop bookmakers from making Scottie Scheffler a historic favorite for the 125th U.S. Open. His incredibly short odds also aren't preventing bettors from backing him en masse.
Howell is a high school junior from Georgia who shot 63-63 in qualifying to get into the field. How did he get here, and what is he hoping for from the biggest week of his golfing career.
