PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. — The stage is set for what should be the ideal U.S. Open at Pebble Beach, per- haps the most popular of all U.S. Open courses with its magnificent Pacific coastline and small greens, with its history of high drama and great champions. The fairways are roughly the same width as always at Pebble. The rough is lush and penal. The forecast is good. “I don’t think I’ve seen the golf course in better condition,” said John Bodenhamer, the senior managing director of champion- ships for the USGA. So what could possi- bly go wrong? Based on the recent run of U.S. Open mishaps, that’s a question that lingers for some of golf’s best players. And the USGA can only hope it has the answer. “I think the U.S. Open has been in the past one of the most respected ma- jors as far as the test you’re going to face — fair, hard, a good test of golf,” Rickie Fowler said. “I don’t think ADRIAN WYLD / THE CANADIAN PRESS VIA AP you’re going to find a lot of guys who Brooks Koepka will be trying to win the U.S. Open for the third straight year.
