The 122nd edition of the US Open Championship is set to take place in Massachusetts this week, where a typically strong field will assemble.
The third men’s major of the year takes place at The Country Club in Brookline for the fourth time and the first since 1988 when Curtis Strange defeated Sir Nick Faldo in a playoff for the first of his two consecutive US Open victories.
Jon Rahm will be looking to emulate that feat this year following his victory at Torrey Pines last year. If he is to do so, he will have to defeat 155 of the world’s very best players over one of the toughest tests in the game.
