Hole 14 at Oakmont is one of the "easy" ones — and a key birdie opportunity before the brutal stretch of 15 and 16. But when my group at media day played it, we had a howling wind blowing in our faces. Not so easy. 18 holes in 18 days continues: post-gazette.com/sports/us-open….

Everybody knows the Church Pews. But what about the Piano Keys on No. 15 at Oakmont? The USGA's John Bodenhamer called Oakmont's iconic bunker ridges "free-flowing, sort of diabolical areas within bunkers that you don’t see very many other places." post-gazette.com/sports/us-open…

Justin Thomas said it was “very, very soft” at Oakmont. Dustin Johnson said the conditions were “really similar” to the soggy U.S. Open he won in 2016. But a firmer, faster test is likely on the way. Day 1 at Oakmont: post-gazette.com/sports/us-open…

I had a great time watching the best golfers in the world come to terms with hitting driver on a par 3. And it led to some funny moments — including an amateur showing up Scottie Scheffler and Sam Burns. How players are tackling Hole 8 at Oakmont: post-gazette.com/sports/us-open…

I had a great time watching players tackle the Church Pews this morning. Not sure they had as much fun — though current leader J.J. Spaun was one of a few who managed to save par from the iconic bunker. post-gazette.com/sports/us-open…

Final Round 1 tally at the Church Pews, by my count: - 44 balls - 6 doubles - 16 bogeys (2 from Scottie Scheffler) - 21 pars (shoutout J.J. Spaun) - 1 birdie Players can recover from the Pews on Hole 4. Not so much at No. 3 (scoring average 5.1). post-gazette.com/sports/us-open…

Sam Burns was playing the round of his life, the kind golfers prefer not get interrupted. But he stopped to help an Oakmont spectator in need anyway. A cool little moment from the player who shot an incredible 65 to vault up the U.S. Open leaderboard. post-gazette.com/sports/us-open…

Two classic U.S. Open stories collided in the first pairing of the third round Saturday. Philip Barbaree Jr. made the cut by a shot with his wife on the bag. The Barbarees' big moment meant Oakmont head pro Devin Gee got a U.S. Open tee time after all. post-gazette.com/sports/us-open…

Adam Scott: “It was borderline unplayable. The water was so close to the surface.” “It’s a tough call, but we played. Everyone had to deal with it.”

What a surreal Sunday at the U.S. Open — from crews squeegeeing Oakmont to a bloodbath of bogeys after the restart to a 64-foot putt to win it. J.J. Spaun handled the chaos better than anyone. But the runner-ups may have been the U.S. Open grounds crew. post-gazette.com/sports/us-open…

J.J. Spaun: "I felt like I had a really good chance to win the U.S. Open at the start of the day. It just unravelled very fast. But that break was actually the key for me to winning this tournament." Nobody needed the delay more. Nobody handled it better. #USOpen #Oakmont
