Chambers Bay, home of the 2015 United States Open Championship, is a unique tribute to the historic links of Scotland and Ireland. With Puget Sound providing a serene backdrop to Chambers Bay, this breathtaking layout winds through a stunning coastal setting, among windswept dunes and native fescue grasses. The snow-capped Olympic Mountains rim the western shore and eagles keep silent watch overhead. In every sense, Robert Trent Jones II has created an awe-inspiring design that is as spectacular as the beauty surrounding it.
Seton Hall's lineup will consist of Lloyd Jefferson Go (Guadalupe Cebu City, Philippines), Gary Dunne (Wicklow, Ireland), Cory Wilson (Newton, N.J.), Derrick Kim (New City, N.Y.) and JT Harper (Pebble Beach, Calif.).
