American golf’s crown jewels

On Wednesday, Rory McIlroy spoke of how much fun he had prepping for the 118th US Open at courses such as National Golf Links of America, Friar’s Head Golf Club, and Garden City Golf Club.

“It’s cool to see the architecture that’s been brought over from Scotland, like you’ve got basically a road hole bunker, and a Principal’s Nose,” McIlroy said.

“You’ve got all the stuff you had where this game started, which is really cool. So it was nice to see that.”
