Dustin Johnson returns to Oakmont, site of 2016 U.S. Open triumph, as game rounds into form

Dustin Johnson returns to Oakmont, site of 2016 U.S. Open triumph, as game rounds into form A lot has changed for Dustin Johnson since the last time he was at Oakmont Country Club nine years ago. He captured his second major title, winning the November Masters in 2020. He was one of the first players to leave the PGA Tour for LIV Golf in 2022, where he remains with one win in each of his first three seasons, though he hasn't collected a worldwide win since February 2024. This week, the 40-year-old is back in Western Pennsylvania looking to rekindle the DJ of old's flame at the 2025 U.S. Open. He has missed the cut in five of his past seven majors and sits 27th in the LIV Golf season standings after eight events with three top-10 finishes on the year, including last week at Robert Trent Jones Golf Club. But he remains far from his form in 2016, when he entered the final round at Oakmont trailing by four but won by three, claiming his first major championship title a year removed from a disappointing finish at Chambers Bay, when he had an eagle putt from 12 feet to win on the 72nd hole and walked off the green with a par to miss a playoff by one shot. "The course is just as hard as I remember, if not harder. Yeah, I like coming back here. I love the golf course," Johnson said Monday at his pre-tournament news conference. "First time I played it, probably two weeks prior to the 2016 Open, so obviously a lot of good memories from that year. Coming back, I was back here one other time when I got my honorary membership here, for that ceremony, which was really nice. Proud member of Oakmont. I'm probably their favorite member because I never come." Johnson calls Oakmont the toughest course he has ever played, and he couldn't name a second off the top of his head. Even with softer conditions expected this week thanks to upwards of 13 inches of rain in the past 10 weeks, and more expected early on and possibly on the weekend, it could make the golf course a bit easier to hold the fairways and greens, but it could lead to it playing longer, too. That's how conditions were when Johnson won in 2016. "The conditions right now are similar," he said. "Hopefully it will be dry, we won't get any more rain, and it will dry out a little bit by Thursday." Johnson said his game has been trending in the right direction, even if the results don't show it. He's currently in the midst of one of his longest winless streaks (16 months) of his lengthy pro career. "Golf is a strange sport. I don't feel like I've slipped any. My scores haven't reflected, but it is a really fine line," Johnson said. "I remember a few years ago, I missed two cuts in a row. I think I shot 80-80, and then I won the next week. "For me it's always really close to being good, but just getting back there and keeping it consistent which over the last couple months I'm starting to see a lot of patterns and the game feels like it's coming back into good form." Before he won at Oakmont in 2016, Johnson went 15 months between victories. A lot has changed in nine years, but the competitive fire remains inside DJ, and he's hoping some good vibes at Oakmont can be the spark to another special week. "I have confidence in this golf course because I know I played well, but obviously this week puts a lot of pressure on the driver. I feel like I'm driving the ball really good right now," he said. "Even from there, though, it doesn't get much easier. You definitely have to hit it in the fairway if you want a chance to win around here. "I'm looking forward to playing in it this week and hopefully can contend."

Gearing Up: Will Two-Driver Grip on Victory Lane Loosen at WWTR?

INDYCAR The NTT INDYCAR SERIES is experiencing dominance in 2025 that most of the paddock isn't celebrating. Chip Ganassi Racing's Alex Palou and Andretti Global's Kyle Kirkwood have combined to win each of the season's first seven races. SEE: WWTR Event Details The combination of Palou (five wins) and Kirkwood (two) is as significant historically as it is presently. Since A.J. Foyt won the first seven races of the 1964 season – that was 61 years ago, by the way – only one season has had such a run by so few drivers. In 2006, Sebastien Bourdais won the first four races of the Champ Car World Series season, and AJ Allmendinger won the next three races. In terms of two-man dominance, that's the only comparison over the past half-century to what we're seeing this year. The modern era of this sport has exuded parity unlike few others. Since unification in 2008, there has only been one season – 2009 – when there weren't at least four drivers winning in the first seven races. On three occasions, there were seven winners among those seven races – most recently in 2021 when Palou, Colton Herta, Scott Dixon, Pato O'Ward, Rinus VeeKay, Helio Castroneves and Marcus Ericsson won races. This season's parity is rooted in second-place finishes. Six drivers have found themselves in the runner-up position, and Palou is one of them, part of why he holds a commanding 90-point lead over Arrow McLaren's O'Ward as the series nears its halfway point. Third-place Kirkwood trails Palou by 102 points. It's been two decades since a driver had that kind of an advantage at this point in the season. This season has featured three temporary street circuits, three permanent road courses and, of course, the most important oval track of them all (Indianapolis Motor Speedway, site of Palou's first Indianapolis 500 presented by Gainbridge victory). Perhaps a different winner emerges with Sunday's Bommarito Automotive Group 500 presented by Axalta and Valvoline at World Wide Technology Raceway (8 p.m. ET, FOX, FOX Sports app, INDYCAR Radio Network). Certainly, history suggests it will be someone other than Palou or Kirkwood since Palou's win at Indy is the only oval victory they have between them. Team Penske's Josef Newgarden has been the dominant series driver at this 1.25-mile short oval, capturing four of the past five victories and a track record five in all. O'Ward has regularly contended, as well, finishing second in three of the past five races. Meanwhile, neither Palou nor Kirkwood has posted even a top-three finish at the track located a few miles east of St. Louis. Palou has fared better than Kirkwood, finishing ninth, seventh and fourth in the past three races. Kirkwood's average finish in series races there is 18.0, and his race a year ago effectively ended on Lap 17 when he got collected in a chain reaction incident in Turn 2. This event spans two days. Saturday is packed with action, beginning with the first practice at 11:30 a.m. ET. Qualifying for the NTT P1 Award follows at 3 p.m., and the second practice will be at 5:30 p.m. All of this action airs live on FS1, the FOX Sports app and the INDYCAR Radio Network. Sunday, it's racing under the lights for the first time this season. Twenty-five drivers will try to reach victory lane for the first time this season. The other two -- Palou and Kirkwood -- will try to keep the checkered flags all to themselves. recommended

Pittsburgh Steelers Wanted $84 Million Quarterback Over Aaron Rodgers

Pittsburgh Steelers Wanted $84 Million Quarterback Over Aaron Rodgers originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Aaron Rodgers and the Pittsburgh Steelers finally agreed to a pact last week after months of back-and-forth. The Steelers finally have their quarterback for 2025, but turns out, despite the long offseason drama, Rodgers wasn't the first or even second choice for Pittsburgh. Advertisement ESPN's Adam Schefter laid out the Steelers' game plan from this offseason, and Rodgers was not at the top of the list. "This was the best move that the Pittsburgh Steelers could make right now," Schefter said on ESPN's "Get Up." "But let's also remember that this was the third option for the Pittsburgh Steelers. They were in on Matthew Stafford and couldn't get done a trade. They tried to re-sign Justin Fields. He opted to go to the New York Jets where he will meet Aaron Rodgers on opening day, and after they couldn't get a trade done for Stafford and couldn't get Fields re-signed, they pivoted to Aaron Rodgers." The Steelers had their eyes on a different Super Bowl-winning quarterback, Matthew Stafford. Stafford is entering the first year of a two-year, $84 million contract in Los Angeles. Stafford led the Rams to a Super Bowl LVI victory over the Cincinnati Bengals, completing 26 of 40 passes for 283 yards and three touchdowns. In his storied 16-year NFL career, Stafford has completed 5,174 passes for 59,809 yards and 377 touchdowns. Stafford is top-10 all time in completions, yards and touchdowns. Advertisement Stafford threw for 3,762 yards and 20 touchdowns, completing 65.8 percent of his passes in 2024. It's not clear the Rams would have entertained a Stafford trade. Schefter's report does indicate at the very least talks were had, but nothing could get done. At 41, Rodgers is even more past his prime than the 37-year old Stafford. Rodgers is coming off of a 5-12 campaign with the New York Jets, where he threw for 3,897 yards and 28 touchdowns. Rodgers comes with a lot more controversy than Stafford. Rodgers has been a headline machine over the past few years, especially after his tumultuous Jets' tenure. It's clear the Steelers wanted to grab a veteran stop-gap for 2025. Pittsburgh drafted Ohio State Buckeyes quarterback Will Howard in the sixth round of the 2025 NFL draft. Whether or not Howard is the quarterback of the future remains to be seen, but Rodgers probably doesn't have much time left in the NFL.
