US Open Golf Brooks Koepka walks on the first green during a practice round of the U.S. Open Golf Championship, Tuesday, June 15, 2021, at Torrey Pines Golf Course in San Diego.

Can anyone see Bryson DeChambeau and Brooks Koepka hugging it out this week? DeChambeau and Koepka are on opposite sides of the draw and starting at opposite ends of the course. “Sometimes I think they don't realize we might be laughing at them, not just with them," he said.

Fred Couples (1979), Brad Faxon (’83) and Phil Mickelson (’90, ’91) and are among previous low amateurs at the U.S. Open.
