On Merion Golf Club and Philadelphia’s place in golf history

Brandel Chamblee (@ChambleeBrandel): “You can’t find a more important city to the legacy of golf than Philadelphia. I say that with all due respect to St. Andrews. It is what has happened here that gives this golf course so much of its reverence.”

 

On the finishing holes at Merion Golf Club

Frank Nobilo: “Collectively, 17 and 18 are a wonderful, what 700 yards. Imagine someone having to finish 3 and 4, looking at the leaderboard needing two pars to win the U.S. Open at Merion. Wow.

 

On holes 3, 9 and 17

Frank Nobilo: “I doubt I’ve seen three harder par-3 holes on one golf course than those three.”
