USGA's Cryptic Response to Justin Thomas' U.S. Open Oakmont Challenge
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. Just when it seemed that the golf world could not be more excited given the approaching US Open event, Justin Thomas shook social media with a proposal that touched the hearts of literally every fan. "So much talk about 'what would X handicap shoot at Oakmont'... Why don't we find a way to make it happen?" Thomas posted on his X account, which has more than 780,000 followers. "Have a 5, 10, 18 whatever handicap play Monday after the @usopengolf. Back tees full rules of golf, and see what happens?" "May have to let a few groups thru and allow for 6-7 hours but I think we're all here for it, no??" The proposal has unleashed a torrent of reactions. Thomas' post has received over 3.5 million views and more than 2,800 comments, including the one everyone was waiting for. Among those who reacted to Thomas' proposal was the USGA, which posted a cryptic message: "Should we?" As the organizer of the US Open, the USGA has the power to make this idea a reality. They not only hold ownership of the third major of the season, but also control the handicapping system, which is essential for measuring the skill level of the amateur participants in the proposed event. In less than eight hours, more than 1,800 fans have responded to the USGA, the vast majority of them asking the organization to make Justin Thomas' proposal a reality: ORLANDO, FLORIDA - MARCH 05: Justin Thomas of The United States prepares to hit a shot during the pro-am as a preview to the Arnold Palmer Invitational presented by Mastercard 2025 at Arnold Palmer Bay...

(Photo by) More Getty Images The USGA organizes all of the national amateur championships in the United States, so it has plenty of experience working with players at that level. It seems that Thomas developed this idea after being asked what score an 18-handicapper could achieve at Oakmont. He and several colleagues offered their opinions. The general consensus was that a player of that level would score well above 100, if they finish the course at all. More Golf: 2025 US Open: Marquee Pairings You'll Want to Watch at Oakmont

2025 U.S. Open picks: Three long-shot bets to win at Oakmont
Gambling content 21+. The New York Post may receive an affiliate commission if you sign up through our links. Read our editorial standards for more information. Scottie Scheffler may be a decisive favorite (+280) to win the 2025 U.S. Open, but this tournament has all the right ingredients for chaos. As well as Scheffler has played lately, the U.S. Open has a habit of humbling even the most in-form golfers. And this version of the tournament, which is being played at the notoriously difficult Oakmont Country Club in the suburbs of Pittsburgh, should do just that. This is the 10th time that Oakmont will play host to the U.S. Open, and in the last two iterations, this track chewed up the field. Dustin Johnson won the 2016 U.S. Open at Oakmont with a final score of 4-under par and was one of five players in the red after 72 holes that year. Nine years prior, Angel Cabrera won at Oakmont with a final score of 5-over par. In other words, you should be preparing for maximum chaos in Western PA this week. That should be music to your ears if you're someone who likes to have a flutter on a long shot or two at major championships. Even better news is the fact that so much value will be sucked up by Scheffler, Bryson DeChambeau (+700), and Rory McIlroy (11/1), that you're going to get some whopper prices on players with actual winning upside. Can Patrick Reed tame Oakmont with his fantastic short game? Getty Images 2025 U.S. Open long-shot picks Aaron Rai (125/1, Caesars) It makes sense to target two specific types of players when looking for a long shot this week. The first group is players who do a solid job of avoiding trouble with a strong game off the tee. That's Aaron Rai's music. Ranked No. 1 on the PGA Tour this season in driving accuracy, Rai has had a year with plenty of ups and downs. He's got four top-15 finishes this season, but he's also missed four cuts, including in each of his last two outings. More encouraging, however, is the fact that Rai has had some strong performances in the toughest events on the calendar. He finished T19 at the PGA Championship, T14 at THE PLAYERS, and T11 at the Arnold Palmer Invitational. If you think the key to success in this tournament is to grind out something around even par, Rai should be on your card. Patrick Reed (125/1, BetRivers) The second type of skillset I'll be looking for this week is the ability to get out of trouble with some short-game magic. Patrick Reed has that in spades. The greens at Oakmont are going to be quick and challenging, but Reed's touch on and around the dance floor should give him a leg up over most of the field. Sungjae Im (125/1, Caesars) There does seem to be a bit of a correlation between Oakmont and Augusta National, which is why this could be a good week to have some exposure to Sungjae Im. The South Korean has three top-10 finishes at Augusta, including a T2 in 2020 and a T5 this April. Like Rai, Im's accuracy off the tee should keep him out of trouble, so long as the rest of his game is working.

PGA Tour Star Reveals Indefinite Absence amid Crushing Injury
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. In the days leading up to the start of the RBC Canadian Open, a flood of players withdrew for various reasons. One of the most notable cases was Sahith Theegala, who was one of the highest-ranked players to pull out at the last minute. As one of RBC's ambassadors on the PGA Tour, Theegala definitely prioritizes this event. Taking everything into consideration, it was clear that Theegala's decision must have been made for a very serious reason. Hours later, Theegala confirmed the seriousness of his injury on Instagram. "The RBC Canadian Open always treats players so well, and I was really excited to play the new venue at TPC Toronto this year," he posted on social media. "The place looks beautiful and I've heard so many great things about the golf course and the facility overall. Doctors have advised me to put the clubs away for a little while as I get treatment and rest for an injury I've been battling the last few weeks, so this one stings. "Wishing my great friends at RBC a wonderful week. They are first class all the way, and I'll miss competing with all my fellow Team RBC players for Canada's national Open Championship." "Thank you to my fans and sponsors for your continued support. See you all soon!!" This is the first time that Theegala has missed the RBC Canadian Open since he joined the PGA Tour in 2022. In his three starts, he has made two cuts, with his best finish being T38 in 2023. The PGA Tour winner has played in 15 tournaments this year, making 13 cuts. However, his results have not met expectations. He has failed to finish in the top 10 at any tournament this season, and his best result was a tie for 17th place at the Genesis Invitational. This is the third tournament Theegala has withdrawn from this season. Less than four weeks ago, he withdrew from the Truist Championship after completing three rounds due to a neck injury. Sahith Theegala of the United States plays his shot from the 11th tee during the first round of the Arnold Palmer Invitational presented by Mastercard at Arnold Palmer Bay Hill Golf Course on March 02,... Sahith Theegala of the United States plays his shot from the 11th tee during the first round of the Arnold Palmer Invitational presented by Mastercard at Arnold Palmer Bay Hill Golf Course on March 02, 2023 in Orlando, Florida. MoreA week later, he was unable to take his place in the PGA Championship field for the same reason. He played in the Memorial Tournament a week ago, but it was clear that he wasn't fully recovered. This led to him missing his second cut of the season. Based on his social media post, it appears that he will also miss next week's U.S. Open at Oakmont Country Club, and likely beyond.
