Hills alive for 2017

THE United States Golf Association has chosen Erin Hills, a newly-opened public golf course in Wisconsin, to stage the 2017 US Open.

The USGA also announced that the US Open would return to Pebble Beach in 2019 as well as staging the 2018 US Amateur.

“Erin Hills has been open just a few years, but it has justifiably earned its reputation among the best golf courses in America,” said USGA president Jim Hyler.
