Main storylines
1. Scottie is red-hot
Fresh off three wins in his last four starts, World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler is a clear favorite heading to Oakmont for the U.S. Open. While he has yet to win his national open, the three-time major champion has a strong track record with three top-10 finishes in seven appearances.2. Which Rory will show up?
Rory McIlroy is looking to bounce back at the U.S. Open after a challenging outing at the RBC Canadian Open, where he missed the cut by 12 strokes. He intends to address issues with his driver before the championship. This recent setback is at odds with his stellar U.S. Open form, which includes six straight top-10 finishes and a runner-up placement last year. Interestingly, McIlroy believes playing the week before the U.S. Open has been key to his success, a change he made after missing the cut three years in a row (2016-18).3. Bryson looks to repeat
Bryson DeChambeau, who secured his second U.S. Open title last year with a clutch final-hole par, is now aiming to become the first player to win the event in back-to-back years since Brooks Koepka in 2018. The fan favorite is in strong form, having finished as the runner-up at last month's PGA Championship. Since joining LIV Golf in 2022, DeChambeau has been a force in the majors, recording seven top-10 finishes in twelve starts.4. Oakmont is brutal, as always
Regarded as the nation's toughest track, Oakmont Country Club is set to host its record 10th U.S. Open. The course's punishing features, from its dense rough to its slick greens, are famous for keeping scores high. As a par-70 layout, only four total players finished under par in the last two U.S. Opens held here (2007, 2016), underscoring its brutal difficulty.Pre-tournament material: Monday June 9
Course prep is bordering on comical
We already know Oakmont is one of the toughest tests in all of golf, particularly in the hands of the USGA. Watching the volunteer grounds crew mow the crazy rough in synchronized choreography is something.Respect the crew. 💈⛳️ 20+ people cutting, edging, and dialing it in—before most fans even show up.

Is this a barbershop or a golf course?
