U.S. Open 2024: Tiger Woods off to early practice, Adam Scott gears up for major streak
The HinduTiger Woods was among those on Pinehurst No. It’s his first time playing a U.S. Open on this Donald Ross gem in 19 years, and so much of it is new to him because of a restoration project from a decade ago that replaced rough with native sandy areas and wiregrass bushes. “I’m grateful I haven’t been in this position too much.” The USGA set aside six spots for anyone who moved into the top 60 in the Official World Golf Ranking published on Monday, and the rest go to alternates. “This is pretty typical U.S. Open in the sense that par is a great friend to you all week,” said Webb Simpson, a former U.S. Open champion who had to qualify this year for the first time since 2011. Scottie Scheffler wasn’t on the course after winning the Memorial by one shot on a Muirfield Village course that was tough enough to feel like a U.S. Open.
