By Abby L. On 13 June 2017 Balls Tour Clubs

Team Titleist has descended upon America's Dairyland to Hartford, Wisc., for the 2017 U.S. Open Championship at Erin Hills. The first day of practice rounds was a busy one, particularly in the Titleist Tour Van, where Titleist Brand Ambassadors visit our Tour Reps to prepare their equipment for the week ahead. 

Enjoy the galleries below to take a closer look at the year's second major, and be sure to take a look at our social media channels throughout the week (Twitter, Facebook and Instagram) for more inside coverage.
