US Open food and drink prices revealed as golf fans fume at ‘disgrace' of a menu and staggering cost of WATER
GOLF fans fumed at the "disgrace" of a menu at the US Open. The tournament kicks off on Thursday but already the Oakmont concession prices have been revealed online. 3 3 And fans were stunned to see just how much a bite to eat could set them back. A Philly cheesesteak was the heftiest meal on the menu - costing $13.95 (£10.33) - while crisps were $3.49 (£2.58). A single Corona costs $11.95 (£8.85) - despite being able to buy a four-pack for £6 at Sainsbury's. Even a bottle of water is $4.95 (£3.66) - but what really did it for fans was the $1.95 (£1.44) price of a banana. One raged: "$1.98 for a banana??? I'm taking my business elsewhere!" Another fumed: "$1.95 for a banana is outrageous." One said: "$2 for a banana is crazy. Can get a bundle at the store for under $2!!! I am irate." On the course, American Bryson DeChambeau looks to retain his US Open title but Rory McIlroy enters off the back of his Masters win in April. Scottie Scheffler also claimed PGA Championship glory in May and will tee off as the bookies' favourite to go all the way. Elsewhere, fighting tooth and nail to make a name for himself in Pennsylvania will be full-time dentist Matt Vogt. Vogt - who runs his own dentistry practice in Indianapolis - is 1,173rd in the World Amateur Rankings but secured a debut place at a major. Not only does he hope his golf career will take off but also his dentistry business, revealing: "I think they've gotten a ton of enquiries. "I've got such a great team, I've got friends helping me out with all those messages and enquiries and said, 'hey, guys, forward those to Chris, my buddy, and make sure you stay focused on patients because that's what we're there to do in McCordsville, Indiana'. "It's been a lot of fun, some patients reaching out and fellow dentists. I feel like there are so many people behind me this week - Oakmont, Pittsburgh, dentistry - it's been fun. "Honestly, from a business perspective, that's not what it's about. We try to take good care of people, and if it brings us more great patients that we can help, awesome. "It will give us something to talk about maybe in and around the office." 3
