U.S. Open Could Return To Brookline For '22 Event If Logistical Challenges Are Met

The USGA "has accepted" an invitation from The Country Club in Brookline, Mass., to bring the U.S. Open "back to the club’s composite course for the fourth time" in '22, according to Michael Whitmer of the BOSTON GLOBE. The Brookline Board of Selectmen, meeting Tuesday night, "voted to execute a letter of intent with the USGA, which requested -- in cooperation with The Country Club -- that the item be placed on the agenda." USGA officials, joined by two reps of The Country Club "took part in Tuesday’s discussion." The Board of Selectmen "also voted to allow town administrator Mel Kleckner to convene a team to negotiate a definitive agreement with the USGA" to bring the '22 Open to Brookline. Kleckner said that the "deadline to reach that agreement" is Oct. 31. Whitmer notes for the tournament to return to Brookline, logistical chalenges "will need to be met, since large crowds would be attending an event in a neighborhood." Town land "would be required for temporary parking, with spectators then being brought to The Country Club by bus" (BOSTON GLOBE, 4/30).
