Max Homa shines at the unique U.S. Open.
The 2023 US Open at Los Angeles Country Club has a different feel than past editions due to the small, exclusive crowds and record-low scores. However, the course itself is a masterpiece, with visually stunning holes that test players' creativity and decision-making. The logistics of the club's location and topography have limited attendance to 22,000 per day, making the tournament feel more like a social corporate gathering. Despite the unusual atmosphere, the USGA plans to allow the course to firm up and dial up the difficulty for the remaining rounds.
