A little US Open trivia
U.S. Open week is my favorite golf week of the year. I love the history of the event and, to that end; I am going to spend this week’s column on trivia. I am going to ask 10 trivia questions and the person who emails me with the most correct answers will receive one sleeve of Titleist Golf Balls. Ties will be honored; so multiple winners are a possibility.
