SAN FRANCISCO – With the WGC-Cadillac Match Play being played on the West Coast in April, some players took a detour to scout Chambers Bay, site of June’s U.S. Open, this week and the reviews have been mixed.
Henrik Stenson made the trip to the Pacific Northwest on Sunday and decided to walk the course instead of playing it.
“It’s different. A lot of elevation changes. It’s a different animal, that’s for sure,” he said.
Ryan Palmer also made the trip on Sunday and played 18 holes with Brooks Koepka, and his take was not nearly as measured.
