    We’ve been patiently waiting, and the week has finally arrived. Welcome to the 2020 U.S. Open, Team Titleist!

    This week, we’ll be bringing you lots of exclusive Winged Foot content to celebrate the start of the 120th U.S. Open Championship, where 144 of the world’s best will compete to etch their name into history on Sunday afternoon.

    To kick off the week, we’re bringing clips from an exclusive interview Titleist Staff Member Michael Breed conducted with Butch, Billy and Craig Harmon, all of whom learned to play at Winged Foot under the direction of their father, the late Claude Harmon Sr.

    Hear from each in the two clips below as they discuss what it means to have the U.S. Open back at Winged Foot, recounting a Club Championship victory and why Winged Foot is so special to the Harmon family.

    Looking forward to seeing how 'recent' restoration of Winged Foot unveils this week and thus praise what Gil Hanse's minimalist hands did on this classic golf course.

    It is a testament of how Tillinghast's golf course architecture design has stood the test of time.
