"U.S. Open at LACC: Familiar Questions Arise Amid Disappointing Crowds and Challenging Course"
The United States Golf Association (USGA) is facing criticism over the suitability of LA Country Club as a venue for the US Open due to its exclusivity and history of discrimination. Golfers have also complained about the course set-up and scheduling, with some branding it "diabolical". Reports suggest that only a small number of tickets were made available to the general public, with the majority being corporate hospitality passes. The USGA has defended its ticketing policy, stating that it works with host sites to determine onsite access and availability of tickets.
