Previewing Round 1

It’s not often that we get to see so many of the game’s stars just one week after a major championship, but with the PGA Tour’s new designated events schedule, nearly half the field in Connecticut is comprised of U.S. Open contestants.

And all eyes are sure to be on the players who battled down the stretch at Los Angeles Country Club, including Rory McIlroy, Rickie Fowler, Scottie Scheffler, and U.S. Open champion Wyndham Clark. Xander Schauffele is the defending champion.
