Winged Foot and Alternate Tees

The story to coming out of Monday's U.S. Open media day: the use of some different tees to mix things up. Yet another sign that the Meeks era is over, the USGA's Mike Davis has plans to entice players to attack the par-5 12th at least two days, while playing one round from No. 3's 243-yard tee, possibly bring a lay-up option into play that served Billy Casper well in 1959.

Sam Weinman has the story.
