Graeme McDowell uncovers insider secrets of Chambers Bay

Past champion Graeme McDowell believes he may have found a key to unlock the secrets of the little-known Chambers Bay course, venue for next week’s US Open.

Just a handful of players who will tee-up in Washington State have any knowledge of the course headed by American Peter Uhlein who captured the 2015 US Amateur championship on the suburban Tacoma layout.

Others who competed alongside Uihlein were Patrick Reed and current US Masters champion Jordan Spieth, who was then just 16 and shot a second round 83 to miss the Chambers Bay cut by six shots.
