Photos: 2024 U.S. Open Tuesday practice round at Pinehurst No. 2

We’re another day closer to the start of the third men’s major championship of the year.

The 2024 U.S. Open gets underway Thursday at Pinehurst No. 2 in North Carolina, and preparation continued Tuesday, as the field of 156 golfers grinds to lay claim to one of the oldest trophies in golf.

Wyndham Clark is the defending champion, as he captured the U.S. Open last year at Los Angeles Country Club.

This is the fourth U.S. Open to be contested at Pinehurst No. 2. The last time it was here, in 2014, Martin Kaymer ran away from the field in wire-to-wire fashion with an eight-shot win.
