ERIN, Wis. – In terms of experience, Jordan Spieth and Peter Uihlein should have an advantage on the rest of the 156-man field at the U.S. Open. They both reached the quarterfinals of the 2011 U.S. Amateur, the only other major competition that has been held at Erin Hills.
But that deep run on the sprawling, linksy layout might not have helped as much as you’d think.
“It’s weird, I don’t remember much from 2011,” Spieth said Tuesday.
He remembered that he was in form, coming off a U.S. Junior title a few weeks earlier.
