The world of professional golf has been very slow lately, with hardly anything to talk about, so thank goodness we've got another major championship coming up this week about to hit us like a security guard coming after Adam Hadwin with a champagne bottle.
Nothing like a little merging and power-broking and shape-shifting to prep for the 123rd U.S. Open Championship, where I have a sneaking suspicion that not every interview question from my reporter colleagues is going to be about the current task at hand.
That's totally understandable, of course, and I'll be asking plenty of those other questions myself, but you didn't come here to read about where the PIF's billions are going. You came to add a few zeroes to your own account.
First things first: I've never before been to LACC North, host of this week's championship for the very first time, and I'm writing this preview before I'll arrive on-site. (Though I plan to be taking a long walk throughout the entire property by the time you're reading this.)
