Li Haotong refers to the US Open and Dustin / Woods takes part in the second Grand Slam of the year.

This week, the 118th us open will return to the San Nico Hill Golf Club. This is the fifth time that the traditional stadium has held second Grand Slam tournaments annually.

One of the five founding clubs of the United States Golf Association, Southampton is a lynx stadium with little preference for artillery players. It is located in Southampton, New York. The players who have won the title here - Raymond Floyd in 1986, Corey Pavon in 1995, and Retief Goosen of 2004 - are not the artillery players, they are famous for their excellent skills in doing the ball.

This year's competition will not repeat the last year's bird feast in Mount AI, Wisconsin. Last year, the artillery player Brooks Kepka hit -16 272, equaled the record of the minimum number of clubs (in a standard bar), beat the left-hand player Brian Harman and Matsuyama Hideki of Japan with the advantage of 4, winning his first Grand Slam championship.

Even if Simic mountain increased 500 yards after the US Open in 2004 - 7440 yards of the stadium and 70 poles - this is not a court that can be conquered with strength.

"I think the most challenging is the short pole," said Phil Mikkelsen, who participated in the 26 us open. He was the six American Open runner up, including the 2004 at the niceck mountains. "Push, hit, iron and number one wood will also face challenges. I think luck has been minimized in this stadium, and strength is the most important factor. We will have a great lead, a great match. "

The international player lineup was strong, including last year's runner up Matsuyama Hideki, the second Asian player to be ranked second in the US Open after Chen Zhizhong (T2) in 1985. China also has its own representation, and three Li Haotong will win his first Grand Slam champion and Liang Wenchong will be in the United States tour.

Li Haotong, 22, is the world's top player in the world's top competitions. In 2017, he ranked third in the UK Open and ranked thirty-second in the US Masters this year. He is now ranked forty-fifth in the world.

One of the most watched players is Dustin Johnson, the US Open champion in 2016. He shot the ball directly from the 171 yard to the cave last week in Memphis, and finally won the FedEx St. Jude classic by 6 points. This victory brought him back to the top of the world, ranking second in the FedEx Cup.

"I won the match in 2016, so I know how to win. I will try to play my own level in Memphis. Johnson said. No one has ever won the US Pro Tour regular season and the US open two weeks in a row. Johnson will challenge this history.

There will also be many eyes on tiger Woods, who won the US Open for the three time, but he did not take part in the competition after 2015. Woods has been in good health this year and has performed well. He was runner up in the Valspar championship and ranked eleventh in the championship.

"As a whole, I have prepared for the US Open, which is very positive." Woods said.  He will be in the first two rounds of the same group of Johnson and the world's second Justin Thomas.

Woods won 14 Grand Slam Championships, the most recent being the 2008 US Open.

Copa will strive to become a player after 1988-1989 years of Curtis Strange, who has successfully defended the US Open. He missed the first three months of this year because of his wrist injury, but he has fully recovered. Last month's Fort Worth tournament, he came in second place.

The biggest change of the US Golf Association this year is the abolition of the 18 hole extended race and the 2 hole sudden death extended race.
