Reflections On The U.S. Open

June 2011
The U.S. Open routinely exposes a golfer's emotions, good and bad. Some players can laugh about the ups and downs right away; some need a few years to gain perspective. These classic stories from the pages of Golf Digest take you behind the scenes and experience the Open in a completely different way.

Jack Nicklaus, on the traditional Open setup: "A difficult golf course eliminates a lot of players. The U.S. Open flag eliminates a lot of players. Some players just weren't meant to win the U.S. Open. Quite often, a lot of them know it."
