Penguins check out U.S. Open golf Trophy

Before yesterday's 4-2 victory over the Carolina Hurricanes they had a little special guest show up after their morning skate. That little friend would be the United States Golf Association's U.S. Open Championship Trophy. This trophy goes to the winner of the U.S. Open for golf. Some of the famous people that won this trophy would be Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy, Rickie Fowler, Jason Day and etc. This tournament will be held June 13-19 at the Oakmont Country Club, which is located 15 miles northeast of Pittsburgh. Oakmont is a notoriously challenging course and it will be hosting its ninth U.S. Open and 12th major Championship. Many of the Penguins players got a chance to get a closer look at the trophy and even take their picture with it. I would love to get my picture taken or win the U.S. Open Trophy in the near future. Like the Stanley Cup, a USGA representative had to wear surgical gloves so they could keep the trophy nice and clean. If the Penguins make the Playoffs and have a deep run and potentially play in the Stanley Cup Finals, they could have a chance to watch a couple rounds of golf. Go Penguins!!!!!!!
