NY Post: U.S. Open Next Major To Postpone, Will Remain At Winged Foot If Played

Mark Cannizzaro with the NY Post exclusive on the USGA informing Winged Foot Golf Club it will delay June’s planned U.S. Open at the renowned course. Thanks to reader Kevin for passing along.

Cannizzaro adds this from an unnamed source:

“[We] remain hopeful about late in the summer, [maybe] early September,’’ the source said regarding the U.S. Open, adding that the club is “optimistic’’ the tournament will take place at Winged Foot.

Fingers crossed things improve in the region where one of the early COVID-19 cases has led to a total lockdown not far from Winged Foot with, reportedly, positive results thanks to the quarantining, reports CNN’s Eric Levenson.

If the U.S. Open is to be played at Winged Foot in late summer or early fall it will feature way less build-out than would be planned with a summer date. And frankly, given the damage to the neighboring East course and uncertain state of affairs for the corporate world, the fluid situation warranting a downsized Open seems just fine should the event happen.
