The 126th U.S. Open kicks off Thursday at legendary Shinnecock Hills Golf Club on Long Island and the storylines heading into the third major championship of the year are plentiful. Leading the way is the No. 1 player in the world, Scottie Scheffler, getting his first shot at becoming just the seventh player in history to win the career grand slam.
But right behind Scheffler’s attempt at history sits one of the biggest names in professional golf who is not only looking to win the U.S. Open for the third time in his career, but also a man whose professional life is a little bit upside down at the moment as he faces a future in a league that is fighting for its life.
