Shop 'Till You Drop

It was slim pickings at the merchandise tent at Newport Country Club but shoppers were greeted with a chance to save. All hats, visors and accessories like ball markers and cups were marked down by 30 percent. The few remaining golf shirts and tee shirts remained at full price and selection was quite limited.

The USGA runs the merchandise tent for the U.S. Open. Under its contract with Newport, club pro Barry Westall basically closes his shop for the week and lets the USGA push its wares.
