Valley native heads back to Oakmont to work U.S. Open
OAKMONT, Pa. (WKBN) – Valley head golf professional Scott Sundstrom is no stranger to PGA Tournament Golf, as he was invited back to where he started — to work at the 2025 U.S. Open Golf Championship. Sundstrom has been the head golf pro at Youngstown Country Club for 25 years. He started his professional career at Oakmont Country Club in 1987. 'I became an assistant golf professional there from 1987-1992. I was very fortunate,' said Sundstrom. 'I didn't know what I was going to do after college, and I thought I'd give the golf business a try. I thought even if I didn't like it or didn't want to get into it, Oakmont is not a bad place to hang out for a few years,' said Sundstrom. The YCC golf pro lived on Oakmont's course while he was an assistant pro. He lived above the clubhouse and then in a cottage on the course. 'The course now — its almost like a links style course, you almost can't find a tree in the whole property except on the perimeter,' said Sundstrom. 'When I was there, it was a course similar to Youngstown Country Club, where it was lined with trees.' Oakmont went through a redesign starting in the early 90's, which some of the membership found controversial. Thousands of trees were removed, and currently, there are barely any on the course. 'Just to see the course, see the members that are still there, that were there when I was there, is very meaningful and I'll enjoy getting back for the reunion,' said Sundstrom. Sundstrom's reunion came on Tuesday's practice round, where he was the starter on the 10th hole. The golf pro announced the golfers to the public who were about to tee off. He previously did the job back in 2016, when the U.S. Open was last at Oakmont. Practice rounds continue at Oakmont on Wednesday, and tournament play starts on Thursday, June 10.

Alcantara pitches 6 shutout innings as the Marlins edge the Pirates 3-2
PITTSBURGH (AP) — Sandy Alcantara struck out six in six shutout innings, and the Miami Marlins edged the Pittsburgh Pirates 3-2 on Tuesday night. Alcantara (3-7) allowed three hits and walked one in his first win since April 12. The 2022 NL Cy Young Award winner went 0-7 with a 9.07 ERA in his previous nine starts. Calvin Faucher worked around a two-on, no-out jam in the ninth for his fifth save as the Marlins won for just the second time in nine games. Nick Fortes hit his second homer of the season for Miami, a two-run shot off Mitch Keller (1-9) in the third. Eric Wagaman added two hits for the Marlins, including an RBI single in the fourth. Ke'Bryan Hayes and Oneil Cruz homered against Miami reliever Ronny Henriquez to get the Pirates within one but it wasn't enough as Pittsburgh's season-high four-game win streak came to an end. Keller allowed eight hits in six innings. The veteran right-hander is winless since beating the Marlins in his first start of the season on March 28. The Pirates fell to 15-15 since Don Kelly replaced Derek Shelton as manager in early May. Faucher appeared wobbly after hitting Spencer Horwitz and giving up a single to Nick Gonzales to start the ninth. The Marlins caught a break, however, when pinch-runner Jared Triolo stumbled on Gonzales' hit to right field, preventing him from attempting to head to third. Triolo ended the game on third base as the tying run. Key stat 2.28 — the run support Keller has received this season, one of the main reasons he is 1-9 despite a respectable 4.15 ERA. Up next The series wraps up with a matinee on Wednesday. Cal Quantrill (3-6, 5.63 ERA) starts for Miami against Pittsburgh's Bailey Falter (4-3, 3.49 ERA). __
