BROOKLINE, Mass. — The golf world now turns its eyes to the Bay State, as The Country Club in Brookline plays host to the 122nd U.S. Open.
One of the U.S. Golf Association’s five founding members, The Country Club has not hosted the organization’s flagship event in 34 years.
The drought seems something a shame, given the drama that has surrounded each of the tournament’s three stops in Brookline.
The requisite 72 holes have yet to prove enough to crown a champion at The Country Club, with playoffs following each playing of the event there.
As we gear up for this year’s return, we relive the U.S. Open’s three previous visits to Brookline.
