U.S. Open Championship: Who to Root for and How to Watch

Tournament: U.S. Open Championship, June 15-18

Course: Erin Hills, 7,693 yards, par 72 (just outside Milwaukee, WI)

Purse: $12,000,000 (almost twice last week’s St. Jude Classic purse)

Defending Champion: Dustin Johnson. In one of the weirder things to happen at a prestigious golf tournament, Johnson called an official over when the ball he was about to putt seemed to oscillate due to wind on the 5th hole of the final round. Nothing happened, but in the background, officials were reviewing it on video and told Johnson on the 12th hole that he may or may not be assessed a penalty.
