CHARLOTTE, North Carolina — Adam Scott has heeded a warning that nobody who arrives only a couple of days before the U.S. Open will have a realistic chance of winning the June 18-21 championship at Chambers Bay near Seattle.
But fellow major winner Webb Simpson has laughed off the same advice and will arrive on site a few days beforehand, after playing in the PGA Tour event in Memphis the previous week.
Scott, the 2013 Masters champion who held the world number one ranking for 11 weeks last year, said he would be at Chambers Bay "a lot" in the weeks before the second major of the season.
