Any missed cut is a reason to pout, to question one’s game, to lose sleep and overreact to a bad week, but it hurts a little more – dare we say a lot more – to clean out the locker in the clubhouse during the week of a major championship.
At the 122nd U.S. Open at The Country Club in Brookline, Massachusetts, several prominent golfers were sent packing. Only the top 60 and ties survived to play the weekend. The U.S. Open always has been known to be the fullest examination of a golfer’s game. It will expose any weakness, any uncertainty, any fragile nerves. In short, there’s nowhere for a player to hide.
While several unheralded players have stepped forward and surged into contention at TCC, a normally talented lot have fallen victim to a quirky that layout that is proving to have stood the test of time.
Here’s more on some of the players who failed to make the cut, which came in at 3 over.
