The philosophy of the United States Golf Association (USGA) is to make the US Open the most rigorous, yet fair examination of golf skills while testing all forms of shot-making. It’s an examination of strategy and course management, and also a test of patience and mental strength. So, the USGA likes to set up the golf course to not only test the top player’s skill level with difficult course conditions, but also test players’ mental makeup and survival skills. Efficiency, endurance and energy no doubt play a large part in a player’s ability to excel and execute in a pressure-packed environment

Winged Foot was designed by A. W. Tillinghast in 1923. The course lost 20-25 trees due to Tropical Storm Isaias in August, but that’s not reflected in this hole-by-hole flyover video of the course. There are just two holes where water comes into play (15 and 16), and 76 sand bunkers that can catch balls that miss the fairway or greens.

From 2016-2018, Gil Hanse recaptured the original contours and size of the greens through a design and restoration project that included rebuilt greens, bunkers and new back tees on seven holes to extend the yardage for this year’s US Open to 7,477 yards.

Winged Foot has always presented a difficult challenge when hosting the US Open, as only two players out of 750 that have competed have broke par.

This year, 14 golfers return who played in the 2006 US Open at Winged Foot. That includes 50-year-old Phil Mickelson, who was one of the favorites back then and needed par on the 72^nd hole to win. He made double-bogey to finish 6-over-par and lost by one stroke. Mickelson now has six runner-up finishes in the US Open, but he’s not expected to challenge this year with odds of +8000 at both FanDuel and DraftKings.

This past week, a bettor at William Hill in Las Vegas placed $45,000 bet on Mickelson to win the 2020 US Open at 75/1 odds. Should Phil win, the bettor will be rewarded with $3.375 million. The wager represents the second-largest liability for an individual golf wager in William Hill’s US history.

Xander Schauffele: T3 (-7), T6 (+6), T5 (-10) last three years
Henrik Stenson: T9 (-5) and T6 (+6) last two years
