The 2014 U.S. Open makes a grand return to Pinehurst Resort in the Sandhills of North Carolina. The event will play out on the famed No. 2 course for the first time since 2005, and the course will feature a new look for the tournament's participants this time around.

According to ESPN.com's Farrell Evans, the famous course has been restored to more closely resemble the original vision of architect Donald Ross. The new look will provide golfers with a whole new set of sight lines. Via Evans:
