As concerns grow over Oakmont’s punishing rough, Jordan Spieth remains unfazed. The three-time major winner praised the layout, calling it a fair but demanding test. “Pure golf,” he stated, “no funny business about it.”
The U.S. Open returns to Oakmont for its 125th edition, promising a grueling challenge. With five-inch rough and lightning-fast greens, players will face a true test of precision and patience throughout the tournament.
Despite online clips showing players struggling to find balls, Spieth sees the setup as fitting for a major. He stressed that success requires smart decisions and avoiding unnecessary risks when off track.
Justin Thomas echoed the difficulty, highlighting the importance of hitting fairways. With wet conditions softening the course, staying composed and strategic will be key for those chasing the title this week.
