Historic Shinnecock to provide tough US Open test...and European winner?

The year's third men's major is upon us and the US Open returns to one of its spiritual homes.

The heavenly Shinnecock Hills, situated between Peconic Bay and the mighty Atlantic Ocean, hosts this fine championship for the fifth time in the last 40 years and for the sixth time since Horace Rawlins claimed the inaugural US Open title in 1895.
