Pinehurst No 2 to host Open again
The USGA awarded Pinehurst No 2 the 2005 U S Open at its San Francisco meeting the Open returns to the North Carolina course after a 1999 run. The six year turnaround is the quickest since the 1940s and mirrors Canterbury 1946. Pinehurst president Pat Corso calls it unprecedented and like winning the lottery twice. Payne Stewart won last year’s Open the second time the event was held in the South. The USGA had avoided hot weather venues due to greens concerns.
