Last time the US Open was held here in 2016, only four players broke par and in 2007, the winning score by Angel Cabrera was at five over. While not quite that penal yet, this tournament does look like living up to its self-proclaimed billing as “the toughest test in golf”. There were more than...
This week’s 125th US Open will feature the longest par-three hole in major championship history at 301 yards. It has been called “ridiculous” by Collin Morikawa, who hit a driver off the tee in practice, and “silly” by Viktor Hovland, but will the eighth at Oakmont Country Club in Pennsylvania prove to be a gimmick...
Colin Montgomerie believes this year’s US Open venue Oakmont remains as “brutal” as it was for his painful play-off loss in 1994. The Pennsylvania course, nicknamed ‘The Beast’, hosts the tournament for a record 10th time when play gets under way on Thursday. “It was brutal then,” Montgomerie said, reflecting on his close call 31...

Huge undulating, sloped greens are lightning fast. Another legend, Sam Snead, joked: “I put a dime down to mark my ball and the dime slipped away.” It was seeing a Sarazen putt run off an Oakmont green at the 1935 championship that inspired Edward Stimpson to invent the measuring device known as a “Stimpmeter” to...
Once again Rory McIlroy and Scottie Scheffler will dominate the headlines. Both have won three events in 2025 but head to Oakmont with differing levels of momentum. Scheffler is undoubtedly the man in form, with three wins in his past four starts, including last month’s US PGA Championship – the third major victory of his...
McDowell carded five birdies in a bogey-free 66 on Sunday, but his momentum was stalled by two weather delays as heavy rain hit Robert Trent Jones Golf Club.
