Not sure so early, but they will be back for sure. I think they really want Chicago Golf Club, but distance could be an issue.

They're not set in stone yet, but it's basically official. The 2022 US Open will be at The Country Club at Brookline, and the 2023 edition will be at Los Angeles Country Club. The question is will the USGA go to Chambers Bay again before Olympic Club, Congressional, or Bethpage Black. They'll get one but I see it coming until the late 2020's or early 2030's.

How'd the freshman year go? Back to CO for the summer?

I hope so. That was a fantastic finish!!!

He quit school to be in the Demolition Derby.

Very funny. I'm working at a golf course just south of Denver for my first PGM internship. When the summer's over, it'll be back to Kentucky and I'll bounce back and forth between there and South Carolina as my parents just recently retired there. The freshman year as a whole was good. Learned a lot from the classes I took and also more importantly about myself.

As long as Mike Davis has a say, they will return to Chambers Bay. The greens will be fixed and gallery concerns will be addressed. Personally, besides the greens, thought it was terrific course to hold the championship. Totally different from the normal US Open course.

Good call! I was super bummed about how much negative attention was surrounding that event. Im a local and have been up and down with my opinions about the course. When it was first finished, I hated it at first sight, until I played it a couple times, thats when the layout and placement started to make sense. I first got to play it after the USGA Amateur and during the construction to make it more playable/easy for the US OPEN. Wow, thats all i gotta say! So fun! And if you don't like the sand everywhere look anywhere North and its the most epic backdrop. Im a 12 handicap and shot 88 first time playing it, one having a good day and two getting alot of help from a buddy/Jimmy Gunns caddie at the OPEN. This opened my eyes to how much thought and slope was factored into this course! Yes the bumpy greens and burnt grass looked horrible on tv, add FOX broadcasting and it was painful to watch! Outsiders have come butcher the thing that is Chambers, that i have finally started to understand and make it quote Gary Player the "worst course" come on man. It wasn't the Chambers thats here now and before the USGA came into town. USGA is the reason why the course so burnt. They didn't water the course the week prior to the event because it usually rains, but guess what it was 90 degrees all the weeks leading up the OPEN. The course is green as anywhere else during those months, but ya do need to water. Anyway, im now a fan of Chambers Bay its such great experience and makes you think/play outside the box. It takes an old school style approach and not a lot of loft to do dial in the course, and its "DIFFERENT". If the OPEN comes back the USGA needs to be open the course up for the general population to get some action on tv, like every other event. Also let the Chambers superintendent do his job, the course looks amazing right now and we haven't had rain all summer. Or do what HORSHEL, SERGIO, G.PLAYER, POULTER, AND THE MEDIA DID, and make everyone believe the course is crap the area is crap and the OPEN should never come back.

I thought Greg Norman and most of the media did a great job, I heard them many times basically telling the players that whined, "its the same for everybody so get on with it"
