The third major of the 2022 golf season has arrived, and controversy is swirling behind the scenes. However, the USGA is making sure to take as little wind out of the sails of their main event as possible as the 2022 US Open contenders take on The Country Club. It’s the first time since 1988 that a national champion will be crowned in Brookline, Massachusetts, and some of the top contenders are coming up with momentum and playing their best golf of the season as of late.
This year’s event features a loaded field with most of the best golfers in the world. Masters champion Scottie Scheffler and PGA Championship winner Justin Thomas are both looking to double. Scheffler is aiming to become the sixth golfer to win the Masters and US Open in the same season, while Thomas is aiming to become the seventh in history to win back-to-back PGA and US Open titles.
However, neither is the favorite at Brookline. That honor goes to Rory McIlroy, who has more momentum than anyone in the field after defending his title at the RBC Canadian Open. McIlroy has three other top 10 finishes in his four previous starts and is one of only four golfers to finish in the top 10 in three (or more) of the last five US Opens.
However, the man who grabbed the most headlines this week was Phil Mickelson, who missed the first two majors of the year due to controversial comments. Mickelson returned to action last week, joining the country club still looking for a US Open to round out their career grand slam. Unlike 2021, when he entered the US Open fresh from a major championship win, Lefty has only played three rounds of golf in the last four and a half months this year. There should be no doubt that his six career second-place finishes at the US Open continue to haunt him, and his 10 top-10 finishes at the event since 1995 show he’s right in the thick of it most of the time.
While attending the US Open can be a lot of fun, seeing golf on the game’s biggest stages is just an incredible treat each year. We here at CBSSports.com are excited to bring you comprehensive coverage of the US Open throughout the week.
Enough talked about it. So you can watch as many US Opens as possible during the week. Stay tuned to CBS Sports for live coverage during the third Major of the year and watch US Open live rankings coverage in Round 1.
