Oakmont: A Test Of Patience, Discipline
The Straits Times

Rivals wary of tough course and hoping favourite Scheffler will stumble at US Open
-
PITTSBURG - Oakmont's fiendish layout provided a rain-softened preview on June 9 of what the world's top golfers will face when the US Open starts on June 12.
Thick rough was damp and dense for the first official practice round, while greens and fairways were far more receptive than they are expected to be when the Major, billed as the toughest test in golf, gets under way.
"It requires patience and discipline," fifth-ranked Justin Thomas said.
"If you just get lazy, like on any drive, any wedge shot, any chip, any putt, you can kind of look stupid pretty fast, especially at a place like this.
"It's a great week to be in a great place mentally and very patient and picking our spots out there."
World No. 3 Xander Schauffele, the 2024 British Open and PGA Championship winner, says golf fans enjoy seeing mighty players humbled.
