As well as the postponement the Covid-19 pandemic will mean a number of changes to the usual open protocols, most notably an absence of the usual thronging, raucous crowds. The field will be down to 144 players from the usual 156, with the usual tradition of local and sectional qualifying put on hold till hopefully better times. Nine Australians have qualified for the US Open including major winners Jason Day and Adam Scott, our only two PGA Tour Championship representatives Cameron Smith and Marc Leishman, Scott Hend, Lucas Herbert, Matt Jones, Curtis Luck, and amateur Lukas Michel.
