THE 115TH U.S. OPEN CHAMPIONSHIP will be different. That's for sure.
First, it will be played on a links-style layout that opened on the edge of the Puget Sound way back in 2007. So much for tradition. Second, this national championship will be broadcast by FOX Sports. Goodbye, Johnny. Hello, Greg (Norman).
I like Chambers Bay. At least I like the idea of it. If the USGA's Mike Davis gets the setup right -- and he usually does -- it should be spectacular. I don't know what to think about FOX, yet. I do know they are revved up for their 38.
