Schedule of events for the 115th U.S. Open from Chambers Bay Golf Course.

Golf’s second major of the year, the U.S. Open Championship will take place from June 18-21 at Chambers Bay Golf Course in University Place, Washington.

Moreover, it’s one of the rare public courses to host a U.S. Open.

Though the tournament doesn’t officially tee off until Thursday, there are a host of activities earlier in the week. Below is a look at the schedule of events, on the course, in the run up to the 2015 U.S. Open.
