UNIVERSITY PLACE, Wash. – Predicting the winning score at any championship is difficult, but the variables increase dramatically when it comes to Chambers Bay and this week’s U.S. Open.
Late Wednesday afternoon one PGA Tour player figured 4 over would be the winning total, followed quickly by another player who went with 4 under.
Thursday’s forecast for the opening round calls for light winds out of the north, but in the Pacific Northwest that could change quickly, not to mention the myriad of options USGA officials have when it comes to setting up the golf course.
