Yesterday and today I attended the 117th U.S. Open, one of four of the ‘major tournaments’ on the Professional Golfers Association (PGA) Tour, in Erin Hills, WI. It was a blast! This was the first time in the history of the U.S. Open that it was held in Wisconsin.
Erin Hills opened in 2006 and is approximately 35 miles northwest of Milwaukee in Erin, WI, population 4,525. Yes, that’s right a little over 4,500 people reside in Erin. The week of the tournament crowds were estimated at 25,000+ a day.
Here are a couple of photos from a memorable two days on the course. Due to recovery from recent knee and ankle replacement surgery, I rode the course in style on an electric scooter. What a blessing. The United States Golf Association (USGA) did a top shelf job to execute all aspects of a fantastic tournament from parking, concessions, staff, and allowing the fans to see the best golfers in the world in action.
I was rooting for my man, Jordan Spieth, but Brooks Koepeka, shot the low score to win the tournament and take home The U.S. Open Trophy. Here are a couple pics that capture Erin Hills and U.S. Open in action.
