UNIVERSITY PLACE, Wash. – Jason Day doesn’t just expect a physical and mental grind this week at the U.S. Open. He welcomes it.
While the Aussie has yet to hoist a major trophy, he has had several close calls at this event. Day finished second both in 2011 at Congressional and in 2013 at Merion, then finished T-4 last year at Pinehurst. After logging some practice time this week at Chambers Bay, he anticipates a demanding test from the USGA.
“They're going to be able to set the course up to where I think it's very challenging but in a way that they're going to try and find the best player that's going to win around here.
