Notable golfers who missed the cut at the 2025 U.S. Open include the defending champion
Notable golfers who missed the cut at the 2025 U.S. Open include the defending champion Everyone knew Oakmont was going to be hard, but see which big-name players failed to make the cut at the 2025 U.S. Open at Oakmont. Oakmont gives no quarter, challenging every facet of a players game with undulating fairways that are lined with 5-inch rough, deep bunkers, and lightning fast greens. Yes, this is the course where Johnny Miller shot a Sunday 63 to win his U.S. Open back in 1973, but no player's winning score at Oakmont has ever been better than 5 under for 72 holes. At the end of play on Friday, just three players were under par, and several well-known golfers who arrived at Oakmont with aspirations of winning the 125th U.S. Open failed to make the cut, which wound up being at 7 over (147). Phil Mickelson, 8 over (74-74, 148) Phil Mickelson knows all about heartbreak at the U.S. Open, coming in second a record six times at the event, but this one still has to hurt. Micklelson was safely inside the cut line before he made a double-bogey on 15 and another on 17 to push his score to 8 over. Playing late Friday evening, he knew he needed a birdie to make the cut, but missed a 15-footer that would have given him a three on the 498-yard par 4. Ouch. Ludvig Aberg, 8 over (72-76, 148) Playing his second U.S. Open, the Swede arrived at Oakmont ranked sixth on the Official World Golf Ranking, and his opening-round 72 left him in good position, but the former Texas Tech star failed to make a single birdie in the second round. Wyndham Clark, 8 over (74-74, 148) The winner of the 2023 U.S. Open at Los Angeles Country Club, Clark arrived at the ninth hole (his 18th of the day) needing a par to remain at 7 over, which would end up being the cut line. He found the right rough off the tee and was only able to advance the ball about 100 yards before his approach shot left him 25 feet from the hole. He missed the putt, made bogey and ended up missing the cut by a shot. Dustin Johnson, 10 over (75-75, 150) The winner of the previous U.S. Open held at Oakmont in 2016, Johnson made three birdies in a row on Thursday (on four, five, and six), but was undone by eight bogeys. He then went birdieless on Friday and carded another 75, which included a double on the par-4 15th after his approach shot from the fairway found nasty rough and his 15-foot par putt raced 6 feet past the hole, leading to a three-putt. Bryson DeChambeau, 10 over (73-77, 150 ) The winner of the 2020 U.S. Open at Winged Foot and last season's U.S. Open at Pinehurst, DeChambeau was in good shape after round one, and even after an first-nine 37, he was looking good to make the cut, but the wheels came off as he went double bogey-bogey-bogey on five, six and seven to lift his overall score to 10 over. Bryson's irons let him down on Friday and he never figured out how to putt Oakmont's greens well. Sepp Straka, 11 over (78-73, 151) A two-time winner this season on the PGA Tour, Straka went birdie-free on Thursday and struggled with Oakmont's greens, finishing the opening round ranked 144th in Strokes Gained: Putting (out of 156 players). His iron game improved in the second round, but his 8-over-par Thursday score was too much to overcome. Justin Thomas, 12 over (76-76, 152) An opening-round 76 put Thomas on the hot seat Friday, but if the two-time PGA Championship winner didn't feel the pressure, he must have after making bogey at 11 (his second hole of the day) and double-bogey on the par-5 12th after his par putt and bogey putts both horseshoes around the cup and zipped out. Thomas' 41 for his first nine holes was too much to overcome. Justin Rose, 14 over (77-77, 154) Two months ago, it was Rose, who won the 2013 U.S. Open at Merion Golf Club, who nearly came from behind on the back-nine at Augusta to win the 2025 Masters, but the Englishman failed to make a birdie during his opening-round 77. On Friday, he carded two double-bogeys and a triple-bogey en route to a second "hockey sticks." Shane Lowry, 17 over (79-78, 157) Lowry has a great putting stroke and great touch with his wedges, skills that come in handy at Oakmont, but on Thursday, he ranked 155th in Strokes Gained: Putting, which contributed to his 79. Any hopes the Irishman had of making the weekend at Oakmont were dashed by starting bogey, double-bogey, bogey over his first three holes Friday afternoon. Things got so bad for Lowry that he forgot to mark his ball before picking it up on the 14th green, incurring a one-shot penalty.

Tennessee softball coach Karen Weekly calls out tampering in NCAA transfer portal
Tennessee softball coach Karen Weekly calls out tampering in NCAA transfer portal Show Caption Hide Caption Texas Tech softball coach Gerry Glasco addresses fans back in Lubbock Texas Tech softball finished 54-14 and runner-up at the Women's College World Series. It was Gerry Glasco's first season as Red Raiders' head coach. Tennessee softball coach Karen Weekly on June 13 voiced her opinion against tampering in the NCAA transfer portal — and how teams have used NIL to land players. "I think we can all agree on 2 things: 1) women making money in sports is awesome and long overdue; 2) contacting players (directly or indirectly) before their season ends and signing them to NIL deals before they enter the portal is wrong," Weekly wrote on X (formerly Twitter). REQUIRED READING: NiJaree Canady NIL deal: Texas Tech ace signs new deal during WCWS championship series run Weekly's post on X (formerly Twitter) made a point that players in women's sports making money isn't the problem: Tampering is. "Money isn't the issue — tampering is!" I think we can all agree on 2 things: 1) women making money in sports is awesome and long overdue; 2) contacting players (directly or indirectly) before their season ends and signing them to NIL deals before they enter the portal is wrong. Money isn't the issue - tampering is! — Karen Weekly (@KarenWeekly) June 13, 2025 Weekly did not call out any specific team or reference any specific player, though her post did come less than 24 hours after Texas Tech softball and Gerry Glasco landed a commitment Lady Vols third baseman Taylor Pannell. The All-American announced she was transferring to Texas Tech after entering the portal that same day. Pannell had a career season in 64 games this season for Tennessee. Named to the All-SEC First Team selection, she finished with a career-best .398 batting average with 74 hits, 65 RBIs and 16 home runs. Weekly's comments also come at a time that Texas Tech has been active in the transfer portal since losing to No. 6 Texas in Game 3 of the WCWS championship series on June 6. Texas Tech has landed Ohio State starting catcher Jasmyn Burns, UCLA pitcher Kaitlyn Terry, Florida All-American Mia Williams and former Southern Illinois standout infielder Jackie Lis. Texas Tech officially announced the additions of Williams, Terry and Lis on June 13. In total, Texas Tech has added three All-Americans and three of On3's top 10 players in the transfer portal to its 2026 roster to pair with star ace NiJaree Canady. As noted by Knox News, part of the USA TODAY Network, Texas Tech will reportedly pay its players $55 million among all its programs next year between revenue sharing and NIL. The Red Raiders' NIL collective, The Matador Club, has not been shy about committing money to softball in the last year, which is considered by many to be a non-revenue sport. The first notable financial commitment The Matador Club made to softball was Canady, the former Stanford star pitcher who transferred to Texas Tech ahead of the 2025 season and signed an NIL deal worth over $1 million with the Red Raiders. Canady single-handedly pitched Texas Tech to its first-ever WCWS and WCWS finals appearances this year. She re-signed with the Red Raiders ahead of Game 3 vs. Texas on another lucrative, record-breaking NIL deal. According to ESPN, Canady's new NIL deal is another seven-figure NIL deal for the upcoming 2026 season, while On3's Pete Nakos reported it is worth at least $1.2 million. Tennessee finished 47-17 overall on the season and advanced to the WCWS semifinals in Weekly's 24th season at the helm of the program.

Reports: Pac-12 TV, media rights package to be announced soon
Multiple national reports say a prominent step in the rebuild of the Pac-12 will be announced soon. Ross Dellenger of Yahoo Sports reported June 9 that all eight members of the new Pac-12 have signed their Grant of Rights and membership agreements. Dellenger says that signals a step toward finalizing the media rights package. Advertisement He says that media rights deal could be "in the coming days." Dellenger reports that as many as four different partners could be part of the package. The conference announced April 29 a deal for the 2025 college football season when Oregon State and Washington State are the only two members of the conference. That deal involves CBS, ESPN and The CW, and many expect that trio to be part of the new, long-term Pac-12 media rights deal. John Canzano reports the Pac-12 leaders are meeting June 10. Chris Vannini of The Athletic also reports the Grant of Rights has been signed and a TV deal is expected to be announced "soon." There are currently eight schools that are part of the Pac-12 rebuild: Oregon State, Washington State, Colorado State, Boise State, San Diego State, Fresno State, Utah State and Gonzaga (non-football member). Advertisement The Pac-12 needs an eighth football member by July 1, 2026, and the expectation has been that an addition (or multiple additions) would come after the media rights deal was finalized. The Pac-12 and Mountain West are reportedly still in mediation regarding multiple lawsuits over exit fees and poaching penalties. Follow sports reporter Kevin Lytle on X and Instagram @Kevin_Lytle.
