Weather will play a big role in the outcome of the U.S. Senior Open at Newport Country Club.
NEWPORT, R.I. – As a continuous stiff wind blew in off the Long Island Sound and across Newport Country Club, grins gleamed across the faces of several United States Golf Association staff members scattered around the practice green.The wind was blowing between 15 and 18 mph that sundrenched May afternoon and everyone’s hoping for similar weather when the U.S. Senior Open gets under way at Newport CC this Thursday.
“Everything is in hands of mother nature now,” USGA senior director of championships Ben Kimball told. “The golf course is exactly where we want it to be. It’s happy, it’s healthy and it knows it’s gotta run a race.”Like Pinehurst, where the 2024 U.S. Open was held two weeks ago, Newport CC is a natural course, with varying lengths of rough and fescue lining the fairways. You could get a good break or a bad break if you hit into the thick stuff.
“It’s golf in its purest form,” Kimball said. “Nothing is perfect. The rough is inconsistent, which makes it more exciting. It creates all sorts of unusually situations and lies and shots.” The extended forecast appears ideal for the U.S. Senior Open, with mostly sunny skies, temperatures in the mid-70s, and a steady 10–13 mph wind predicted in Newport. That would provide Kimball with the flexibility to set the course up in a way that tests the players and showcases Newport’s best qualities.
