Cheer On the Champions at the US Open this Father’s Day With SSS

Dads have a special place in our hearts; whether it’s learning to ride a bike, or bonding over our favourite sports, teams and players, dads see us through it all. The US Open Final is just around the corner and what better way to celebrate Father’s Day than bonding with dad over a spot of golf as we cheer on our favourite US Open stars!

15^th June marked the advent of the 117^th US Open at the Erin Hills golf course in Wisconsin. Naturally, golf enthusiasts from around the world are rooting for their favourites to emerge victorious – whether you’re a fan of Dustin Johnson, Rory McIlroy or Justin Rose, you’ve got all eyes on who will covet the championship at the US Open 2017 at the final.

The US Open has been played at iconic venues across the United States of America, with Erin Hills being the sixth public access course hosting the Championship. One of the four major golf championships, the US open is recognised officially on the schedules of the PGA and European Golf Tours and is staged on a wide range of challenging courses, with the focus placed on the accuracy of the player’s drive during the tournament.

Since 1895, 51 courses have been recognised as US Open sites, with the competition being dominated by British players until 1911. Ever since the win of John J McDermott, the first American winner at the US Open golf tournament, the USA has dominated the playing field with over 80 American golfers taking championship trophies home.

In the spirit of supporting our favourite stars at Erin Hills and celebrating the beautiful bond we share with our dear dads, Sun & Sand Sports recommends some must-haves from our Nike Golf collection to add the ‘wow’ factor to your golf wardrobe. The next time you and dad head out onto the course, these select styles are sure to make you and your game stand out.
