The Masters is obviously the tradition unlike any other in golf.
But videos showing how tough the rough is at a U.S. Open course is the other tradition unlike any other.
We see it every year — at Winged Foot, at Erin Hills, at Oakmont … you get the idea. The U.S. Open is meant to be a brutal challenge, and this year will be no different.
So in 2021, Torrey Pines is the host and with a week to go until the first round of the Open begins, Xander Schauffele—who is not playing this week at the Palmetto Championship at Congaree—showed how his wedge gets completely stuck in the tall stuff behind No. 18.
Welp. Good luck next week, golfers.
WARNING: the rough behind the 18th green at Torrey Pines is THICK!
