Summary
The U.S. Open golf tournament at Shinnecock Hills has been poorly attended, with Wyndham Clark, the 54-hole leader, describing the crowd as “flat.” The lack of attendance can be attributed to three main causes: expensive lodging and transportation options, limited ticket availability, and Clark’s dominant lead in the tournament. Tickets did not sell out for any of the four days, and the high cost of hotels and AirBnBs in the area made it difficult for fans to attend. Additionally, the last train back to Penn Station leaves Shinnecock Hills before the lead group finishes their round, making it impossible for fans to stay and watch the entire tournament.
