Oakmont Has Already Humbled the World’s Best Golfers at the US Open. It Could Be About to Get Even Tougher

On June 12, 2025, at the U.S. Open held at Oakmont Country Club, J.J. Spaun led with a bogey-free 4-under 66 while Scottie Scheffler struggled with a 3-over 73.
The toughness of Oakmont and its challenging conditions, including speed and tricky greens, contributed to Scheffler making several sloppy bogeys and struggling to get close to the hole.
Scheffler made a six-foot birdie putt on hole two but followed with multiple bogeys, finishing with five bogeys, three birdies, and a slow round lasting over five and a half hours.
Scheffler acknowledged that he committed a few careless errors during his round and mentioned that by correcting those mistakes—particularly a few three-putts—he expects to perform better in the next round.
Scheffler’s first-round performance left him seven shots behind Spaun, implying a need for sharper play in coming rounds to contend for the 2025 U.S. Open title.
