With the start of another decade of U.S. Opens, the USGA has picked what many consider the best golf course in the world to host this year's championship.
Pebble Beach is unique in the way it bleds beauty with toughness.
This should be a great driving course for a player like Tiger Woods. Since the greens are very small, they will also be tough to not only hit but hold. Scrambling will be at a premium, so look for good chippers, such as Phil Mickelson, to have a great advantage here. Putting is always a key in winning, but this year with smaller greens the longest putts will be from 40 feet, thus giving players more chances to make putts. Weather will also play a factor.
