Tee Times
After the goat ranch that was Quail Hollow we return to a top 5 major championship venue at Oakmont.
By all accounts should be a brutal week with the winner around par.
PGA Tour and LIV brothers again get to enjoy each others company. Rory gets to continue to be fluky. Scheff continues to eat. And dont forget to drink every time they mention that Johnny Miller shot a 63 in the final round to win at Oakmont.
Current (as of 8pm CDT 6/12/25) selected odds courtesy of FanDuel…make every moment more!

I seem to remember hearing about how they have removed a frickton of trees. Well, the media is on that.
Obligatory Johnny Miller reference.

US Open ’25: Decades ago under dark of night, Oakmont began removing trees and started a golf trend
Last month, Scottie Scheffler made mention of a trend in golf design that rubs him wrong — removing trees from courses.
This week, the world’s best player and favorite to win the U.S. Open will play a course that did just that, but didn’t become one bit easier the way some layouts do when the trees go away. Under the dark of night three decades ago, the people in charge of Oakmont Country Club started cutting down trees. They didn’t stop until some 15,000 had been removed.
The project reimagined one of America’s foremost golf cathedrals and started a trend of tree cutting that continues to this day.
While playing a round on YouTube with influencer Grant Horvat, Scheffler argued that modern pro golf — at least at most stops on the PGA Tour — has devolved into a monotonous cycle of “bomb and gouge”: Hit drive as far as possible, then gouge the ball out of the rough from a shorter distance if the tee shot is off line.
“They take out all the trees and they make the greens bigger and they typically make the fairways a little bigger, as well,” Scheffler said. “And so, the only barrier to guys just trying to hit it as far as they want to or need to, it’s trees.”
Obligatory Johnny Miller reference.
quote:
In an ironic twist that eventually led to where we (and Oakmont) are today, the layout was completely lined with trees in 1973 when Johnny Miller shot 63 on Sunday to win the U.S. Open. That record stood for 50 years, and the USGA followed up with a course setup so tough in 1974 that it became known as “The Massacre at Winged Foot” -- won by Hale Irwin with a score of 7-over par.
“Everybody was telling me it was my fault,” Miller said in a look back at the ’74 Open with Golf Digest. “It was like a backhanded compliment. The USGA denied it, but years later, it started leaking out that it was in response to what I did at Oakmont. Oakmont was supposed to be the hardest course in America.”

I'd like to see Scottie and Bryson tied for the lead and paired together Sunday. I'm pulling for Bryson though.

A lot of courses remove trees so grass grows better and avoid the extra expensive maintenance that trees bring.
Now a course with plenty money like oakmont money isnt an issue

after four long years LIV is finally relevant. Even if its just for this weekend.
All credit to Bryson for embracing the role of an entertainer and fan favorite. He's done a great job of becoming likable and relatable. And of course his game is on point. Maybe he needed the guarunteed money to take some pressure off.

i like bryson...not because of length or shite like that....but because of his incredible short game...he has not hit it great for him at the majors this year and still had a chance at both...he is due to play well
