It's officially June, which is U.S. Open month on WGT. Merion Golf Club will soon be filled with top players from around the world, but WGTers are playing the course right now on World Golf Tour and you can too, free online.

The key to Hole 12 at Merion is the tee shot to the dogleg-right fairway that slopes severely from left to right. Land on the right side of the fairway and you'll have a flatter lie, but trees and rough are dangerously close to the right. It's another tricky tree-lined par-four at Merion.
