The 125th U.S. Open at Oakmont Country Club is anticipated to be immensely challenging, with tour professionals describing it as the hardest course they've encountered. Phrases like "carnage" and "cooked beyond belief" characterize the current state of the course. Golfers face significant obstacles, including ankle-high rough, tightened fairways, and lightning-fast greens. Players like Xander Schauffele and Justin Thomas have echoed these sentiments, noting the daunting nature of the course, which has hosted the U.S. Open ten times due to its reputation for pushing golfers to their limits.
"I've heard from several players, it's the hardest course they've ever played," Xander Schauffele said. "That's kind of [what] most people have talked about."
"I would say all of the rumors and everything are pretty on point," added Justin Thomas, who played a practice round at Oakmont two weeks ago.
Early scouting reports of the revamped course outside Pittsburgh from tour pros the past few weeks have included descriptions like 'carnage,' 'cooked beyond belief' and the 'hardest course in the world.'
Grab the popcorn and get ready to see who can survive the ankle-high rough, tightened fairways, famous Church Pews bunker and lightning-fast (and firm) greens.
