It was a first-time U.S. Open venue, and it produced some record-breaking scores.
Conditions weren’t what the USGA had hoped for when they selected Erin Hills to host their marquee event back in 2010, but the blustery winds during the final round still caused plenty of headaches for players while identifying a worthy champion in Brooks Koepka.
