FOLLOW: iHEART | TUNEIN


The 2019 US Open Friday pin sheet has been released for the second round during which will be played under good weather conditions on Day 2, including sunshine, 61-degree temperatures and modest wind. That weather will impact how Pebble Beach plays and how the 156-player field will approach the course. So, too, will the hole locations (pin placements) as selected by the USGA US Open Competition Committee.

Some things to note:

  • The hole location on the fifth is filthy, but a courageous cut taking on the cliffside could pay off in birdie.
  • The second shot to the sixth hole will be more difficult to set up an eagle, being both longer and away from the roll of the turf.
  • The pin on No. 14 will be challenging for players both going for the green in 2 or laying up.
  • The hole location on the 18th is the least accessible for a second shot, meaning there could be plenty of disappointing scores.
