LOS ANGELES — The long private Los Angeles Country Club opened its doors this week for the 123rd U.S. Open, marking by far the biggest event ever to play the course tucked away near Beverly Hills in Southern California.
Golfers will be hit with another tough challenge immediately at the par-3 seventh. This long par-3 will play longer than 280 yards, and there aren’t many places to miss. Barranca winds all the way from the tee up to the green, though there is a short safe location just in front of the hole.
“11 is a little trickier,” Rahm said. “Everything rolls off that green, everything bounces away from that green except that little gap early on.”Exactly opposite of the 11th, the 15th could play as one of the shortest par-3s professional golfers have ever seen. The USGA has all but said it will set up the shortest possible combination for the hole at one point this weekend, too. That’s left golfers taking a lot of time on the tee box there during practice rounds this week trying to hit from every angle.
The nearly 500-yard par 4 starts with an uphill tee shot, and will need a spot-on approach to the small green that sits right in front of the big white clubhouse. Bunkers surround the green on both sides, too.
