American JJ Spaun leads the 2025 US Open Championship heading into the second round at Oakmont. For the 34-year-old Arizona-based Spaun his round of a four-under 66 was the best in his 25 rounds playing in his ninth appearance in a major since making his debut at the game’s highest level at the 2018 PGA Championship. And Spaun spoke of his pre-US Open work on his game back home that included going “down a rabbit hole for a few days back home”. “I’m really picky with ...

Top-ranked Scot Bob MacIntyre couldn’t hide his satisfaction with day one of the US Open after carding the best even par round “of his life” at Oakmont. The Scots star is sitting tied 20th heading into day two at the notoriously tough course. MacIntyre birdied the 7th, 12th and 15th to go round in 70, two putting on the last hole to end the day with a disappointing bogey. However, Oban’s favourite son was more than happy with how he played on his fourth outing at the tournament. MACINTYRE ...

American JJ Spaun proudly took Route 66 to match the lowest score at a Oakmont US Open to be the clubhouse leader early on the opening day of the 2025 US Open in Pennsylvania. We recall Spaun as the American experiencing a gut-wrenching play-off loss  to Rory McIlroy earlier this year at the Players Championship at TPC Sawgrass in Florida. In contrast to last March, Spaun felt comfortable with the idea of contending and winning a big event. That he was good enough and deserving enough to ...

Grand Slam winning Rory McIlroy’s 2025 US Open round of an untide four-over 74 was at lease seven shots fewer than last week’s much-publicised practice round of 81 on the host Oakmont course. McIlroy kick-started his effort with back-to-back birdies at the 11th and 12th however it proved the highwater mark of his opening round as the World No. 2 came home in a golfing ambulance. Rors bogeyed his 10th, 13th, 15th and 16the holes but then doubled the par-3 eighth hole he was playing as ...

Shane Lowry should have fond memories of Oakmont and venue for today’s commencing 2025 US Open. Lowry finished joint runner-up to Dustin Johnson in the 2016 US Open at Oakmont however his return to the famed Pennsylvania course did’t go all that well. After a couple pars to start his day, the Irishman made a bogey on the par-5 12th—he teed off the 10th alongside Rory McIlroy and Justin Rose—and doubled the par-3 16th. Lowry’s tee shot down the short par-4 17th found the rough ...

After admitting he last week shot an 81 in a pre-US OPen practice round and World No. 2 Rory McIlroy says his swing and driver struggles over the past month have improved as he prepares to challenge intimidating Oakmont in this week’s 125th US Open. McIlroy won the Masters in April to complete a career Grand Slam, a trek the 36-year-old from Northern Ireland began with his first major triumph at the 2011 US Open at Congressional. The five-time major winner had his driver test non-conforming ...
