Chambers Bay to Host 2015 US Open

Chambers Bay has been elected as the host of the US Open 2015. With this announcement, Chambers Bay becomes the third municipal golf course to be host in this tournament. The previous ones being Bethpage Black in New York and Torrey Pines in California.

“We are excited to take the U.S. Open Championship and the U.S. Amateur to such an awesome site,” said Jim Hyler, chairman of the USGA Championship Committee. “This is the first time the U.S. Open has been to Washington and we are confident that the golf course will provide a challenging test for the best players in the world.”

Chambers Bay golf course is the centrepiece of a 930 acre park designed by Bruce Charleton and Robert Trent Jones Jr.

Pierce County Executive John Ladenburg commented:

“Our hard work has paid off as we have done everything possible to attract the attention of a prestigious championship, even so, we never dreamed we’d be chosen by the USGA to host both the U.S. Amateur and U.S. Open championships. Especially not so close to the opening of the course. It is a true honor.”
