Only 21% of pros practice on the range after U.S. Open rounds
Summary

At the 2026 U.S. Open in Southampton, New York, only 21% of professional golfers head to the driving range after their rounds. Analysis shows these post-round sessions differ significantly from pre-round practices, lasting an average of 16 minutes with players hitting about 25 balls. For instance, Wyndham Clark, the 36-hole leader, went to the range after expressing fatigue. Players tend to focus on specific clubs or shots during these sessions rather than a broader practice. The U.S. Open is tracking these sessions through its "RangeCast" feature, aiming to provide insights into players' training habits after rounds.
