Oakmont returns as host for this year’s U.S. Open, and that means one thing: Carnage is on the docket. This course doesn’t give away birdies, just ask Dustin Johnson, who won here in 2016 with only 11 birdies on the week.
With a brutally demanding test ahead, I’m focusing heavily on tough-course performance. Here are the names standing out in that department:
Fleetwood ranks top 11 in nearly every split that matters this week: tough-course scoring, penal rough and Bent-Poa hybrids. Oakmont also has a bit of a links feel, and we know Tommy thrives in those conditions. If there were ever a setup for his first stateside win, this is it.
