U.S. Open leaders express frustration with USGA decisions.

Reigning champion Matt Fitzpatrick initially criticized the USGA for the lack of crowds and raucous environment at the U.S. Open, but later clarified that he was not criticizing the organization. Fitzpatrick was disappointed with the USGA's choice of venue and the limited number of tickets sold to the general public, leaving many feeling like this tournament has not felt like a typical U.S. Open. The USGA reportedly sold only 22,000 daily tickets, with 14,000 sold to suite, skybox, and other private-club type tickets, limiting the game to a select percentage of people who can afford the near $400 price tag.
