Forget Jack Fleck. There may be no more unlikely U.S. Open winner than John Ladenburg. He's a 9-handicap, a professional politician not a golf pro and, until taking up the game a decade ago, found his fun playing slow-pitch softball on a team with eight brothers -- he's one of 16 children.

Why would the USGA go off script and pick a brand new muni for the '15 U.S. Open? Because Chambers Bay is that good.
For those who don't know much about it, the best way to describe Chambers Bay is that it is one great big meteor crater. Not just because that's what the course looks like, but because that's the kind of impact it has had on the world of golf.

Golf Course Contractors Tee Up
By Adrian McDonald
Golf course construction is more than pushing dirt around. It takes a designer who can interpret the land and an equipment operator with an artistic hand. "We feel like there's been a golf course lying underneath for a long time and it's our job to expose it," said Jay Blasi, of the California-based golf course architecture firm Robert Trent Jones, Jr.

Built Over Toxic-Waste Site, New Jersey Links Seeks Moneyed Manhattanites Retirement Funds
By Joseph Pereira
JERSEY CITY, N.J.-At a projected cost of $129 million, the golf course under construction here on the banks of New York Harbor is one of the most expensive ever built. The budget for the Liberty National Golf Course project surpasses the $39 million casino boss Steve Wynn spent building a course outside Las Vegas, and the $105 million that Donald Trump is spending on a new Los Angeles links. It's a lot of money to sink into anything built on a toxic-waste site.
