U.S. Open-grade ‘carnage’? It arrived a week early this year
**U.S. Open-grade ‘carnage’? It arrived a week early this year**
The U.S. Women’s Open is known as one of the toughest tests in golf, and this year’s edition at Pine Needles Lodge and Golf Club is no exception.
The course has been set up to play long and difficult, with narrow fairways, thick rough, and fast greens. The rough is particularly penal, and players who miss the fairway will be severely punished.
The greens are also very challenging, and they will be difficult to hit and putt on. The course is expected to produce a lot of high scores, and it could be a week of “carnage” for the players.
One player who is not afraid of the challenge is defending champion Lexi Thompson. Thompson is one of the best players in the world, and she is known for her aggressive style of play. She will be looking to retain her title this week, but she will have to play her best to do so.
