Gary Player has blasted the USGA for bringing the US Open to Chambers Bay saying many of the players are happy to shake the sand off their shoes and head home after missing the cut.

Player said the quirky links-style Chambers Bay course, carved out of a hill overlooking the scenic Puget Sound, had too many gimmicky greens, dramatic elevation changes and slippery fescue slopes that have taken its toll on the caddies and spectators.

"This has been the most unpleasant golf tournament I've seen in my life," he said.
