5 former Georgia Bulldogs competing in the U.S. Open
The 2022 U.S. Open is being held at The Country Club in Brookline, Massachusetts. The prestigious golf tournament is the 122nd edition of the U.S. Open. It is the PGA Tour’s third major of the season.
The U.S Open is held June 16-19. Amazingly, three former Georgia Bulldogs are all in the same group for the first two days of the event. Has something like that ever happened in the history of the PGA Tour?
The University of Georgia has the strongest presence on the PGA Tour of any college golf program.

Kevin Kisner, Russell Henley, and Brian Harman are all in the same group. The trio of former Georgia Bulldogs will certainly talk about the Dawgs winning a national championship in football at some point during the day.
The three already teed off on Thursday morning, but are scheduled to tee off at 1:36 p.m. EDT on Friday.
