At Oakmont, J.J. Spaun's exceptional 4-under 66 was a standout performance amidst tough conditions that saw many players falter. Major champion Xander Schauffele noted the challenge ahead over the remaining 54 holes. Hot weather dried the course, influencing play, with Jon Rahm observing that different conditions in the afternoon made scoring slightly easier. Despite the impressive scores from a few, 16 players ended the day 10-over par or worse, showcasing Oakmont's difficulty after recent rain. The course's layout and rough had a significant impact on players' struggles throughout the round.
"Some of those holes were playing a little shorter. Some of those bounces were maybe slightly firmer." - Jon Rahm discussing afternoon conditions.
"The easiest we're going to play this golf course is today." - Patrick Reed reflecting on Oakmont's challenging setup.
