The U.S. Open long has been regarded the toughest test in golf, and this year it returns to what is arguably the toughest course in America.
Oakmont Country Club outside Pittsburgh is the talk of the 125th U.S. Open, a course built in 1903 that is more about being feared than being fair. The rough is as thick as ever. The greens are as fast as any. There’s also the famous Church Pew bunkers between the third and fourth holes.
Scottie Scheffler shot 69 in his U.S. Open debut as a Texas teenager. He missed the cut the next day in 2016. Now he’s the favorite as he comes to Oakmont having won three of his last four tournaments, including the PGA Championship.
Scheffler is in one of the notable grouping heading into the 2025 edition, scheduled to play the first two days with Collin Morikawa and Viktor Hovland.
SMU product and defending U.S. Open champion Bryson DeChambeau will play with Xander Schauffele and Josele Ballester.
Meanwhile, Jordan Spieth leads another highlighted group with LIV Golf’s Dustin Johnson and Jon Rahm.
