‘When, not if’: Timing a factor as PIAA basketball committee votes down shot clock proposal

For some, the debate about adding shot clocks to Pennsylvania high school basketball is more about “when” rather than “if.” The PIAA basketball steering committee met Tuesday and voted down a proposal that would’ve recommended adding the 35-second clocks, but some of the opposition was about the timing rather than...

When the skies over Oakmont Country Club opened up, one golfer was grateful to see rainstorms interrupt the final round of the U.S. Open. He went on to win. “All I was thinking, and even my whole team, my coach, my caddie, they were like, ‘Oh, dude, this is exactly...
U.S. Open champion J.J. Spaun drains 64-foot putt to seal 1st major at Oakmont

J.J. Spaun arrived at Oakmont Country Club as an unlikely U.S. Open champion, similar to the long odds of him making a 64½-foot birdie putt on the 72nd hole. He somehow made both happen. Spaun bogeyed five of his first six holes Sunday afternoon, seeming to sink his championship hopes,...

Play resumed at 5:40 p.m. Sunday at the 125th U.S. Open at Oakmont Country Club. The final round was suspended around 4 p.m. because of “dangerous weather in the area.” Tournament leaders Sam Burns (2-under) and Adam Scott (1-under) were on the eighth hole when play was delayed. Play was...

‘Pretty average’: World No. 2 Rory McIlroy struggles to 10-over in U.S. Open at Oakmont

In two words, Rory McIlroy summed up his first three rounds at the U.S. Open. “Pretty average,” McIlroy said Saturday after posting a lackluster 4-over-par 74 that left the five-time major champion well out of contention. He carded six bogeys and two birdies on the day, dropping him to 10-over...
Sam Burns, golf’s best putter, 1 of few to tame Oakmont in brutal 2nd round at U.S. Open

The PGA’s best putter rolled in a 21-footer for birdie and later a 22-footer to save par, so Sam Burns obviously learned a thing or two about Oakmont Country Club greens this week, right? Right? “Other than they’re extremely difficult, not really,” Burns said Friday after carding six birdies in...
Defending U.S. Open champ Bryson DeChambeau battles ‘penalizing’ rough to start 3-over at Oakmont

Escaping Oakmont’s rough is exhausting work, even for one of the field’s strongest golfers. Bryson DeChambeau, known for his power, took three hacks in the rough around the 12th green during his first round at the U.S. Open. His first hack sent the ball back over the green. The next...
J.J. Spaun goes from ‘nice little wake-up call’ to 1st-round leader at U.S. Open at Oakmont

Maybe J.J. Spaun hadn’t heard about Oakmont Country Club’s nasty reputation since this was only his second U.S. Open and his first at the historically tough course. That might explain the string of red numbers he put on the scoreboard, but Spaun quickly nixed that theory. “I was definitely, like,...

Asked to name the toughest golf course he’d ever played, Dustin Johnson was quick with an answer. “Probably this one,” he said Monday at Oakmont Country Club after finishing a U.S. Open practice round. What’s the second hardest? He said that was a tougher question, but there was a clear...
U.S. Open at Oakmont: Scheffler’s favorite status, Mickelson’s possible goodbye among early storylines

Oakmont Country Club, with its famous Church Pews bunker, devilish rough and fast greens, has gone nine years since last hosting the U.S. Open. That wait ends now.
