After some incredibly dramatic storylines since the return of the PGA Tour, the anticipation for this week’s US Open is at an almighty high.

We’re back with another preview that is covering a lot of close fights this weekend. Again, the heavyweights headline the card with Alistair Overeem taking on Augusto Sakai in a six-fight main card!

Friday at York features the Coolmore Nunthorpe Stakes, with the brilliant Battaash turning up to try and follow last years blitz up the Knavesmire, and connections hope it is the 2019 version, and not the one who finished fourth the previous 2 years that shows up.

It may be in slightly unusual circumstances and long overdue, but the first major championship of 2020, the PGA Championship at TPC Harding Park, has finally arrived.
