The 2022 US Open will be held at The Country Club in Brookline, Massachusetts. Reigning champion Jon Rahm is looking to defend his title. After the first event of the new tour last week, there’s drama with his players on his LIV Tour returning to this latest major. Among them are Phil Mickelson and Dustin Johnson. Scotty Schaeffler is about to become his seventh different player to win the Masters and US Open in the same calendar year.
It’s also a great chance to see the latest in golf fashion. The hottest trends at this year’s 3rd major are boldly patterned shirts, with few Massachusetts-themed accents.
Rory McIlroy finished the round with a share of the lead while rocking a floral shirt.During the round, it caused a bit of a love-or-hate commotion on social media.
The four-time major winner wasn’t the only golfer to opt for a bright shirt.

It’s a big sports weekend in the Boston area. Thursday night at TD Garden, the Boston Celtics will try to keep their NBA title hopes alive in Game 6 of the NBA Finals against the Golden State Warriors. The Country Club is just over 11 miles from the Gardens.

Besides local sports, New England is known for its seafood, especially lobster. According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Massachusetts tracks only the US state of Maine for lobster fishing. Brooks, his Koepka, and other Nike-sponsored players honored it by wearing crustaceans in their shoes.
One fan also got some recognition Thursday for his T-shirt. He must really like Jordan Spieth.
