Message: [QUOTE="storrsroars, post: 2864342, member: 2500"] Merion is probably out of the future rotation due to logistics. Players were freaking out last time about the access, lack of decent hotels nearby and overall lack of infrastructure that other major venues have. Which is weird, IMO, as there's plenty of hotels and homes for rent in nearby King of Prussia and on the Main Line. But it is not a great venue for fans. It's not like Oakmont is on a heavily traveled road and there's even fewer hotels nearby out there - pretty much have to stay in Pittsburgh proper (and I've done the commute... it's a good 40 minutes from downtown). Will be interested in seeing how The Country Club does in 2020. Last time they played a US Open there was 1963 and +9 was the winning score. [/QUOTE]
