Xander Schauffele ready for Oakmont's tough test
Xander Schauffele calls Oakmont a true test, where hitting fairways and greens is the only way to survive.
USGA
They weren't kidding about Oakmont Country Club. The venue that has hosted more U.S. Open tournaments than any other showed its teeth again to kick off the 125th edition of this golf major.
J.J. Spaun was the early clubhouse leader after firing a 4-under 66, and there's a whole bunch of contenders within a few shots of the lead heading into Friday's second round. But the course became part of the story as well. The thick rough and tricky greens proved to be treacherous and humbled some of the world's best golfers.
The dynamic sets up a fascinating chase to make the cut at the 2025 U.S. Open. Plenty of big names, led by Rory McIlroy, struggled at various points over the opening 18 holes and have ground to make up in order to qualify for the weekend. The 156-golfer field will be cut down to the top 60 and ties before the third round begins, which is different than the top 70 and ties used as the cut line by the PGA Championship and British Open and top 50 and ties at The Masters.
USA TODAY Sports will be tracking the projected cut line with live updates throughout Friday's second round, as well as keeping tabs on the notable golfers who are in danger of missing the cut at the 2025 U.S. Open. Follow along here:

Will Caitlin Clark play for Indiana Fever against New York Liberty, 6/14/25? Prediction, TV
The Indiana Fever try to hand the New York Liberty their first loss of the season on Saturday, June 14. Indiana (4-5), which has been without Caitlin Clark and Sophie Cunningham for several games, struggled mightily in the second half in a loss earlier in the week to the Atlanta Dream. Indiana is 2-3 without Clark in the lineup. On Friday, June 13, the Fever announced Clark would return to the lineup against the Liberty. Clark had been out for about three weeks after suffering a quad strain on May 24 against the Liberty. In addition to Clark, Sophie Cunningham will also return after reaggravating a right ankle injury on May 30. DeWanna Bonner, however, will not be with the Fever for Saturday's game because of personal reasons. New York (9-0) is the WNBA's lone undefeated team, winning by an average of 19 points and leading the league in offensive and defensive rating, field goal shooting, 3-pointers made, steals and blocked shots. They edged the Fever 90-88 at Gainbridge Fieldhouse on May 24. Chloe Peterson is your best Fever follow, and sign up for our Caitlin Clark Fever newsletter. 3 p.m. ET Saturday, June 14, 2025, at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis Chloe Peterson, IndyStar: Liberty 84, Fever 72 "The Fever are getting a significant boost with Caitlin Clark's return to the floor on Saturday, but I don't think it will be enough for them to take down the 9-0 Liberty. "Clark will be playing a game for the first time in about three weeks after she suffered a quad strain on May 24. It will definitely help with the Fever's up-tempo pace and scoring in transition, but don't expect Clark to be perfect off the bat -- she will need to "shake off a little rust" as she said so herself. "New York, however, has looked like how reigning champions should. They're undefeated nearly a quarter into the season and blew out the Connecticut Sun by 48 points last week. "The Liberty are shorthanded, as well, with Jonquel Jones questionable because of an ankle injury and Leonie Fiebich out because of German National Team commitments. Still, New York has a lot of firepower with Breanna Stewart, Sabrina Ionescu, and Natasha Cloud." Fever: DeWanna Bonner (personal reasons) is not with the team. Liberty: Leonie Fiebich has joined the German national team; Jonquel Jones (ankle) is questionable. In four games this season, Caitlin Clark averaged 19.0 points, 9.3 assists, 6.0 rebounds and 1.3 steals, making 31.4% of her 3-pointers.

Split-second decision 30 years ago created special bond between Latrobe man and Arnold Palmer
The excitement and attention of the golf world return to Oakmont Country Club during this year's U.S. Open. But the coverage leading up to this year's tournament harkened back 30 years to when one of the game's legends, and one of western Pennsylvania's most cherished native sons, played his final competitive round on a golf course. During the 1994 U.S. Open, Latrobe native Arnold Palmer played in the tournament at Oakmont for the fifth time in his career, a record at the time. Latrobe resident Carl Gasper was the owner of Carriage Limousine Services, the largest luxury transportation company in the region at the time. Carriage was awarded the contract to be the official transportation company of the U.S. Open. "Arnold Palmer and I became very close friends," Gasper said. "Every time he had to go to an event or go into Pittsburgh, we [came] out and picked him up, took him in, and we grew a great relationship after doing that for him." Palmer, age 64 at the time, was playing in his last tournament in the 1994 U.S. Open, and Carriage Limousine transported Palmer from his home to Oakmont every day by helicopter during the week. But on Friday, the day of the second round, Palmer shot an 81, missing the cut, and the understanding of his swan song was known around the course. "It was very rough realizing that would be the last competitive that he would be playing golf in a competition like this," said Gasper. "So, with him coming up and not making the cut on Friday night, as he [approached the 18th hole], he got an unbelievable response from all the people, and he took the hat off, and he was crying. It was a moving, moving event." In that moment, Gasper made a split-second decision that created a lasting memory forever. "I went down to the caddy shack, where they take all the flags off the golf course so nobody takes them, and I took the flag of the last hole he played," Gasper said. "As he was getting in the car, I said, 'Arnie, would you sign this?' And I gave him a Sharpie, and he looked down and says, 'Carl, what did you do? You know you can't do that.'" Despite his shock, Palmer signed the flag, which Gasper framed and kept in his office for about nine years until another split-second decision added another chapter to the story. "It struck me that my mother had never met Arnold Palmer," Gasper said. It gave him yet another idea: to set up a lunch with his mother and Palmer. "At that particular point, I took that memorabilia – the flag that I had made up – and I wrapped it up and I gave it to my mother to give to Arnie, a birthday present," Gasper said. "We sat back, and he started opening it up. As he opened it up, he cried like a little baby. He was so excited. 'Oh my God, Carl. I remember the day I was getting in the limo, and I signed it! I've got a special place for it.'" That place was a workshop where Palmer helped design and retrofit golf clubs, an estimated 10,000 or so over time. Three decades later, that workshop was shown during national golf coverage, bringing the story back to life once again. "They show this workshop on national TV, and there's my flag," Gasper said. "And the announcer had said, 'There's the flag for Arnold Palmer's last time that he played Oakmont.' So, I felt that was pretty special for me." Gasper wrote a book, "A Dream That Came True," chronicling numerous stories involving local and national celebrities and personalities. But he says his relationship with Palmer is something he will forever hold dear, and the 1994 U.S. Open flag he gifted to Palmer was emblematic of it. "It's something that money can't buy, no matter how wealthy a person is," he said. "You can't put a price tag on something of that nature."

After missing the cut, has Phil Mickelson played his last U.S. Open?
OAKMONT, Pa. — When Phil Mickelson first arrived at a U.S. Open, he was a fresh-faced college student who went through qualifying and, on Golf's Longest Day, earned a spot in the 1990 tournament alongside an 18-year old David Duval. As it happens, Mickelson celebrated his 20th birthday midway through that U.S. Open, and even then the fans were taken with the colorful, left-handed golfer. The gallery behind the 18th green at Medinah Country Club serenaded a young Mickelson with a rousing rendition of 'Happy Birthday,' and Mickelson would go on to be the tournament's low-amateur that week.
