Update:

156 of the world’s top golfers will tee off tomorrow at the Oakmont Country Club with Scottie Scheffler, once again, the player to beat at the 2025 U.S. Open.

The American made his feelings clear on Tuesday about what being a favorite ultimately might mean on the course.

“I don’t pay attention to the favorite stuff or anything like that,” Sheffler said during his U.S. Open press conference. “Starting Thursday morning we’re at even par, and it’s up to me to go out there and play against the golf course and see what I can do.”

Despite playing on the LIV circuit, Spain’s Jon Rahm will be hoping to make an impression at the Pennsylvania course.

The Basque golfer stated: “Oakmont is an extreme challenge and a lot of unfortunate things will happen: difficult fairways to hit, bad positions, complicated bunkers and greens... It will be a good test, a very difficult one. And I think it’s one of the best representations of what a US Open is all about,”

Masters winner Rory McIlroy too will be looking to impress in Oakmont and recognised his below par form since the Augusta win.

McIlroy has struggled since the Masters and will need to rediscover both his hunger and form off the tee if he hopes to be in the mix at the year’s third major.

“I’ve always been a player that struggles to play after a big event, after I win whatever tournament,” said McIlroy.

“I always struggle to show up with motivation the next week because you’ve just accomplished something and you want to enjoy it and you want to sort of relish the fact that you’ve achieved a goal”, concluded the Northern Irish player.
