“Worst US Open ever!” – Fans continue to bash the 123rd US Open over ‘horrible’ LACC setup and atmosphere

The Los Angeles Country Club (LACC), which hosted the US Open for the first time, continues to generate headlines for poor golf course management. The course also drew a lot of criticism for its rough patch before the competition started.

Several videos of the ball sliding freely on the course went viral on the internet. Despite the fact that the competition ended on Sunday, June 18, fans took to Twitter to criticize the course's poor setup.

Here are some reactions:

It is important to note that Wyndham Clark won the first major of his career at the 2023 US Open after playing four rounds of 64-67-69-70.

Rickie Fowler and Xander Schauffele fired the lowest of the US Open

Rickie Fowler created history during the first round of the 2023 US Open, setting a record for the tournament's lowest score. He fired the tournament's lowest, eight-under-par 62, which was also the lowest in any men's major.

Xander Schauffele also matched the score and finished with a score of 62 following the first round on Thursday, June 15.

Speaking about his game, Schauffele said:

“It’s not really what you expect playing a US Open, but monkey see, monkey do. I was just chasing Rickie up the leaderboard. Glad he was just in front of me. [But] it’s just Thursday. It’s literally just the first day of a tournament. It’s a good start. You just wait until this place firms up. It’s going to be nasty.”

Fans, on the other side, said that the golf course made it all possible and called it a "Mickey Mouse golf course."
