Through two days of birdies and record low scoring, the narrative formed that Los Angeles Country Club’s North Course was not presenting a US Open calibre of challenge. By the weekend when firmer conditions and higher scores changed the tone, the narrative shifted to whether LACC is the kind of test players ever want to take again.

“It’s diabolical,” said Bryson DeChambeau.
