10 Best First and Second Round Groups

Oakmont, Pa. – One hundred and fifty players held a kickoff time at the Oakmont Country Club at the 2025 U.S. Open location on Thursday and Friday.

However, you may have heard of Oakmont, and it’s not a sales pitch. Vegetables are fast and rough ThickOn Sunday, we will be crowned the national champion.

Scottie Scheffler is once again a bet favorite, and he will get off with Viktor Hovland and Collin Morikawa at 1:25 pm on Thursday. Even though he won three of his last four games, Schefler didn’t expect the odds.

“I don’t focus on something I like the most or something like that,” he said Tuesday. “We’ve even reached the attitude starting Thursday morning, depending on where I’m going to play against the golf course and see what I can do.”
