Link: Merion Golf Club To Host 2013 U.S. Open | USGA.
The club’s members, representatives of nearby Haverford Township and Haverford College, the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority (SEPTA) and the surrounding community have helped secure all of the necessary ‘outside the ropes’ infrastructure required for a modern U.S. Open. These entities will provide acreage and assistance for needs such as transportation and parking, larger tent facilities, and support services for the event.
I hadn't questioned the ability of the USGA to pull off a U.S. Open until I realized SEPTA was involved...
Seriously though, this is great news. Not a chance I'll be letting my USGA membership lapse now as members get first dibs on tickets.
