The 2022 US Open takes place at The Country Club in Brooklyn, Massachusetts. Defending champion John Rahm is trying to defend his title. There is drama with the LIV Tour players, after the first event of the new tour last week, returning for this latest major. Among them are Phil Mickelson and Dustin Johnson. Scotty Sheffler is trying to become the seventh player to win the Masters and the US Open in the same calendar year.
In addition, this is another great chance to see the latest golf innovations. At the third major of the year, the hottest trend is a shirt with a bright pattern. There are also several accents on the Massachusetts theme.
Rory McIlroy ended his round with a share of the lead in a floral print shirt. This caused a bit of a love-or-hate commotion during the round. in social networks.
The four-time major tournament winner wasn’t the only golfer to wear flashy T-shirts:
Billy Horschel
Hideki Matsuyama
Xander Schauffele

In addition to local sports, New England is known for its seafood, especially lobster. According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Massachusetts is second only to Maine in the United States in lobster fishing. Brooks Koepka and other Nike-sponsored players honored this with a crustacean graphic on their sneakers.
One fan also received some recognition on Thursday for his jersey. He must really like Jordan Spieth.
