Golf immortality is on the line at the 2015 U.S. Open. Hosted by Chambers Bay and held from June 18-21, the event holds a $9 million purse, with the winner receiving a $1.62 million share.
What They're Saying
Rory McIlroy (via USA Today): "I didn't touch a golf club last week. I had played five weeks in a row, and mentally, I was ready to have a little break. I just got away from it, did some other things I enjoy, got back to Florida on Sunday and started to practice."
Jordan Spieth (via Dallas Morning News): "That golf course is just ridiculously difficult. People are saying all around that it's unfair. But it's not too unfair that you can't shoot a 78."
Favorites
Unsurprising to no one, McIlroy enters the weekend as the odds-on favorite to claim another Major championship (6-1). Spieth is not far behind at 7-1, and the Dustin Johnson leads the second tier of talent at 16-1.
