Wesley Bryan will play in his first U.S. Open in two weeks at Erin Hills, and he will have some gnarly rough with which to contend. Bryan recently took a trip to test out the cours, and stepped just two paces off the fairway to get a better look at the thick stuff. It wasn't pretty.
"Stuff is about 2 feet tall," said Bryan.
So it looks like we already have ourselves a proper 2017 U.S. Open. Between the course playing, like, 15,000 yards from the back tees and this stuff, it could be a long week for those trying to break par at this track.
As you can see from the flyovers, the course was built essentially on farmland in the middle of Wisconsin, so this kind of grass should be expected.
