Chambers Bay a true test for golfers

I bumped into Chambers Bay via one of the golf groups on flickr!, where user mistymisschristie frequently posts gorgeous pictures of the course.

This week, Chambers Bay hosts the US Amateur championship and the course proves to be a true test for the golfers.

Devill Ball Golf broke down the numbers (read the full story here):

Here some facts from the two days of stroke play that completed at Chambers Bay and the Home Course on Tuesday.

– The stroke average at Chambers was 79.25 during the two days.

– There were more rounds in the 90s (six) over the two days at Chambers than there were under par (five).

– Only four players broke 70 at Chambers, and only one, Patrick Reed, was able to post three-under.

Tough stuff! Let’s see how the scores will be at the 2015 US Open. Brings up the old question waht winning score you’d rather have at a pro tournament, -25 or +3?
