These guys aren’t among the favourites this week at Shinnecock Hills – surprisingly in some cases – but under the right circumstances they could all find themselves in contention come Sunday. Looking to round out your US Open fantasy lineup? You could do worse than pick from among these tour pros.
Did you wait until the last minute to find a place to stay while attending this week’s US Open at Shinnecock Hills? Well, you’re in luck, because there’s a stunning rental house in the Hamptons that’s still available. And it’ll only cost you $US500,000.
A herniated disc, fractured rib, back soreness, partially torn tendon, partially torn meniscus, tendinitis, hernia, foot injury, stress fracture, torn labrum. No, it’s not an NRL injury report. It’s the list of some of the injuries players in the top 50 of the Official World Golf Ranking have suffered in the past few years.
