Local Reaction Mixed To US Open At Pinehurst

An article in The Pilot, a local Pinehurst paper show that local reaction to the US Open is varied.

I don’t personally think I’d be very happy about it. Saturday afternoons in the fall here in Ann Arbor are a nightmare as 100,000+ people descend on the town to see the University of Michigan Woverines—temporarily doubling the town’s population. It’s a nightmare. I keep a list of the Wolverines’ schedule just so I can schedule my Saturdays to avoid the traffic. I imagine that hosting the US Open would be a lot like that—only it lasts a week.
