UNIVERSITY PLACE, Wash. – Figures this would happen at the first U.S. Open held in a state where marijuana use is legal. Practice rounds came to a grinding halt Wednesday because of slow play. Golfers don’t even know which tee to use. They’re wandering around in a daze, as if lost in space.
It’s going to be that kind of U.S. Open. The kind that tests a player’s patience and mental acuity. This is, after all, the national championship. That means you have to be physically perfect and mentally razor sharp. Or else you don’t have a chance.
