Overview
- Oakmont Country Club hosts its record 10th U.S. Open from June 12 to 15 on a par-70 course measuring 7,372 yards with deep rough, lightning-fast greens and added length from a 2023 renovation.
- World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler has won three of his last four tournaments, making him the clear favorite to navigate Oakmont’s demanding layout.
- Defending champion Bryson DeChambeau aims to become the first back-to-back U.S. Open winner since 2018 by leveraging his power off the tee.
- The USGA made a late adjustment to trim the rough after practice-round footage showed balls buried in grass exceeding five inches.
- Analysts predict the winning score will sit over par as players contend with narrow fairways, heavily contoured greens and some of the toughest rough in major championship golf.
