As storms approach U.S. Open, this single weatherman has lots to watch (and a great view)
As storms approach U.S. Open, this single weatherman has lots to watch (and a great view) Storms that just rolled through Texas, causing severe flooding in areas like San Antonio, will reach the U.S. Open at some point this weekend, with many expecting the rain to come through on Saturday during the third round of play at Oakmont Country Club. Since the weather has a massive impact on a golf tournament, the USGA uses an on-site forecaster to keep an eye on potential issues. Meteorologist Jake Swick is that person. According to a story at the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, Swick has taken residence in the women's locker room at Oakmont, where he's constantly monitoring the weather, including any lightning that can stop play. From the story: 'Oakmont is one of my favorite spots because I've been in this area of the clubhouse overlooking part of the golf course for pretty much every time I've worked here,' he said. 'And it's one of the best offices I could possibly imagine.' Swick, 45, of Orlando is the vice president and chief meteorologist at Thor Guard, an independent company the United States Golf Association has used as its main lightning prediction company for about 30 years. Thor Guard, which is based out of the Fort Lauderdale, Fla., area, started monitoring all of the weather for the USGA in 2007. Swick joined Thor Guard in 2005, and he's been forecasting the weather at U.S. Opens and other PGA golf tournaments consistently since 2012. It's his fourth time at Oakmont. 'We work with the USGA and give them our advice, and they take that information and make the right call,' he said. According to Swick, there are two lightning prediction systems and three weather stations at Oakmont this year, with much of the apparatus on the roof of the clubhouse. Thor Guard systems, which are made in the United States and sold worldwide, monitor lightning, wind, humidity, temperature, rainfall and any other weather knowledge needed. With a setup that includes three computers and an iPad, he's monitoring the club's almost 200 acres daily. 'Honestly, doing this job, I grab every bit of weather information I can because I want it to be as accurate as possible,' Swick said. 'Every little bit of information helps.' So what does Swick see for the weekend? He's hoping it will stay similar to Thursday, which saw calm, sunny weather.

PGA Tour Winner Makes Shocking U.S. Open Admission Despite Stellar Play
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. As expected, the Oakmont Country Club is taking center stage at the 2025 U.S. Open. Even players who performed well during the first round appeared to be almost in disbelief at their results. This was the case for Si Woo Kim, who shot a 2-under for the round yet still seemed far from in control of the situation. "Honestly, I don't even know what I am doing on the course. Hitting good, but feel like this course is too hard for me," Kim shockingly revealed after his round. Si Woo Kim of South Korea plays his shot from the ninth tee during the first round of The PLAYERS Championship on The Stadium Course at TPC Sawgrass on March 14, 2019 in Ponte Vedra... Si Woo Kim of South Korea plays his shot from the ninth tee during the first round of The PLAYERS Championship on The Stadium Course at TPC Sawgrass on March 14, 2019 in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida. MoreThe South Korean golfer had four birdies and two bogeys, and is currently tied for fifth place, with the round still to finish. "Yeah, it was a good start and then didn't even windy much this morning, so that's why I played, I feel like, more easier because I played the last couple days kind of like hard wind," he said. "It kind of feel helpful for me. I started great, so I drive it great, so I think it helps really, kept the good scoring, this course. Yeah, it was a good round." However, his success in the round did not cause him to lose sight of the course's extraordinary challenges: "It was tough. I played three nine holes, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and I saw the past scores, like 5-over win... So kind of like no expectation, but I played great today." Sure seems like Si Woo knows what he's doing. — U.S. Open (@usopengolf) June 12, 2025 The "no expectations" philosophy is shared by other players, including clubhouse leader JJ Spaun. "I didn't really feel like I'm going to show a bogey-free round 4-under. I didn't really know what to expect especially since I've never played here. But yeah, maybe sometimes not having expectations is the best thing, so I'll take it," he said. Si Woo Kim had never played at Oakmont before, as his US Open run began in 2017. In his eight appearances at the event, he has only made four cuts and has never finished in the top 10. For Spaun, the 2025 edition is only his second US Open appearance. He failed to make the cut in his previous appearance in 2021. More Golf: Did Bryson DeChambeau get caught cheating at 2025 U.S. Open?
