SALT LAKE CITY — Rhett Rasmussen is still a teenager, yet he’ll be teeing it up with the best players in the world this week at the U.S. Open at Shinnecock Hills in Southampton, New York.
Rasmussen, who turns 20 next week, will be one of the youngest golfers in the 156-player field in golf’s second major of the year. He is one of two Utahns in this year’s Open along with Salt Lake native Tony Finau, who is playing in his third U.S. Open this week.
Both players tee off in the afternoon wave Thursday with Rasmussen teeing off in the final group of the day at 12:42 p.
