Xander Schauffele Is a Sick Man when It Comes to Golf’s Toughest Test. He Loves the US Open
- The 2025 U.S. Open took place at Oakmont Country Club in Oakmont, Pennsylvania, during the weekend of June 9–10.
- Oakmont’s reputation for tough conditions stems from events like the 1994 U.S. Open, when 96-degree heat caused a player to quit after eight holes.
- Volunteers and members like Robert Beitle, in his seventh year volunteering, expect players to struggle and prefer scores close to or over par to preserve the course’s challenge.
- Xander Schauffele, a recent major champion, said members 'want anything close to par' during the tournament, highlighting Oakmont’s enduring difficulty.
- This U.S. Open reinforces Oakmont’s status as a stringent test where players must endure demanding conditions, reflecting past over-par winning scores like Ángel Cabrera’s 5-over in 2007.
