Summary
Shinnecock Hills is back for the U.S. Open — a brutal, wind-whipped links test with elevation chaos and punishing greens. Brooks Koepka’s 2018 win at one over par sets the tone for tight scoring. Expect thick rough, unpredictable bounces, and a course that rewards precision over power. Scottie Scheffler leads the pack with elite tee-to-green play and a revamped putting game. Chris Gotterup’s breakout season shines with driving and approach mastery, while Ben Kohles’ ball-striking momentum could carry him despite shaky putting. Hideki Matsuyama’s strong short game and putter make him a sleeper worth watching — if you’re willing to temper expectations. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
