LOS ANGELES – In 2020, COVID-19 tried its hardest but it could only postpone the U.S. Open, not cancel it. The 120th U.S. Open, which was won by Bryson DeChambeau at Winged Foot in New York, was held in September rather than June. Things were somewhat better a year later when the national championship was contested at Torrey Pines in June. Still, the USGA took a bath on its big moneymaker – due to limited or no tickets, merchandise and corporate suite sales.
