Who were the biggest surprises not to make the cut?
The cut for the low 60 and ties came in at 7 under and that left some big names on the wrong side of the cut.
Perhaps the biggest surprise was the 17-over (79-78) that Shane Lowry posted.
Who won the U.S. Open the last time it was at Oakmont?
That would be Dustin Johnson in 2016. DJ missed the cut this year so that ensures there will be no back-to-back Oakmont winners. He was one of eight LIV golfers to not make the weekend of the 14 who were entered.

Concacaf Gold Cup 2025: How to watch, game times, USMNT and Mexico schedule
Concacaf Gold Cup 2025: How to watch, game times, USMNT and Mexico schedule Show Caption Hide Caption Weston McKennie: Landon Donovan's dig at Christian Pulisic was sad U.S. Men's National Team standout Weston McKennie reacts to Landon Donovan's comments regarding Christian Pulisic. Sports Seriously The U.S. men's national soccer team enters the 2025 Concacaf Gold Cup in dreadful form, having lost four consecutive games under coach Mauricio Pochettino. The USMNT's final tune-up for the Gold Cup was horrendous, as the team was routed by Switzerland, 4-0, in Nashville. (Switzerland defeated both Mexico and the U.S. by a combined score of 8-2 in pre-Gold Cup friendlies.) The recent poor run of form for the USMNT only adds more pressure on the highly touted Pochettino to have a successful Gold Cup tournament, despite missing a number of key players. Not part of the USMNT squad for the continental tournament include (but is not exclusive to) Christian Pulisic, Antonee Robinson, Weston McKennie, Tim Weah, Gio Reyna and Sergiño Dest. Missing so many key players in the USMNT's last real competition before the 2026 World Cup — which the U.S. is co-hosting with Canada and Mexico — is a less than ideal situation for Pochettino. USMNT fans won't care, however, about missing players or excuses. The fanbase will be looking for better results out of Pochettino's squad, no matter who he puts out on the field. Anything short of winning the Concacaf Gold Cup will be considered a failure. Here's everything you need to know for the 2025 edition of the Concacaf Gold Cup: MORE: Weston McKennie defends Christian Pulisic after Landon Donovan's dig against USMNT star What is the Concacaf Gold Cup?

Ben Griffin Drops 'Best Golfer' Take, Plans to Surpass Scottie Scheffler
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. Ben Griffin was among seven people at even par or better after two rounds of the U.S. Open at Oakmont. He went 69-71 to sit three shots off the leaders. Recently, it seems like Griffin is towards the top of the leaderboard since he won the Charles Schwab Challenge. Now Griffin is continuing his hot streak at a challenging golf course, Oakmont Country Club, and is eying his first major. Being at even par or better is quite an accomplishment, given that the course average was 74 through the first two days. Ben Griffin of the United States celebrates after winning the Charles Schwab Challenge 2025 at Colonial Country Club on May 25, 2025 in Fort Worth, Texas. Ben Griffin of the United States celebrates after winning the Charles Schwab Challenge 2025 at Colonial Country Club on May 25, 2025 in Fort Worth, his round, the two-time PGA Tour winner spoke with the media and dropped quite the hot take with one of his comments to Sirius XM radio. "I feel like im one of the top few golfers in the world right now," Griffin said. "I'm just at a point in my career where I'm doing some good things physically and mentally, I'm in a really good place where I'm just trying to be one of the best golfers in the world, or honestly, be the best golfer in the world. I'm excited to take down Scottie [Scheffler]." "I feel like I'm one of the top few golfers in the world right now." The leaderboards lately agree with Ben Griffin. He heads to the weekend in the top-5 at the US Open, and spoke with Jason Sobel after his 2nd round.@bengriffingolf | @JasonSobelGolf — U.S. Open Radio on SiriusXM (@SiriusXMPGATOUR) June 14, 2025 The former UNC golfer almost won at The Memorial, but Scottie Scheffler ultimately surpassed him and defended his title. That finish has stuck with Griffin, and it seems to be fueling him. "After the Memorial, I was so disappointed in finishing second, and if I go back two years, it would be the greatest thing ever to finish second to Scottie, but now I just feel like I belong at the top." He is playing better than Scheffler at Oakmont as the No. 1 ranked golfer came into the third round at 4-over. Griffin may need to curb his enthusiasm because it takes a lot to beat Scheffler, but confidence is a big factor in succeeding on the PGA Tour. Guys have to believe in themselves, and the 29-year-old has found that in 2025. More Golf: This Insane U.S. Open Stat Proves Oakmont Living up to the Hype

Jack Nicklaus, Johnny Miller reminisce about U.S. Open wins at Oakmont
World Golf Hall of Famer Johnny Miller emotionally reminisces on his historic 63 during the final round of the 1973 U.S. Open at Oakmont, explaining why the moment still means so much to him. OAKMONT, Pa. — Jack Nicklaus and Johnny Miller can look across the vast landscape of Oakmont where each won momentous U.S. Open titles and see in some respects how little has changed. The course is longer than when Nicklaus defeated Arnold Palmer in a playoff in 1962, than when Miller set a U.S. Open record that still stands 52 years later as the only man with a 63 in the final round to win. But it's still about putting. It's still those greens that feel like putting on a basketball court. 'I was talking to some of the guys in the locker room a few minutes ago,' Nicklaus said Saturday. 'And they're saying, 'What do you think?' I said, 'Well, obviously putting is the key out here.' I three-putted the 55th green. I had one three-putt that week, and I'm still ticked off I three-putted that one. That was sort of my mindset.' 'Basically you had to figure these greens out and not let them get to you,' he said. 'And be patient. One under par won the tournament, and 1 under par doesn't win a lot of tournaments today. But it did then.' And it might now. Only three players were under par at the halfway point for the 125th edition of the U.S. Open, and the record 10th one at Oakmont. Only 27 players have finished a major championship at Oakmont under par, and the next 36 holes determine how much — or if — that list will grow. Miller's win was epic, mainly because he thought he was out of it with a 76 in the third round of the 1973 U.S. Open, leaving him six shots behind. On a soft course, Miller delivered what he considers 'literally a perfect round of golf.' Almost. His only bogey in that round was a three-putt on the long par-3 eighth hole. Miller was a premier striker of the ball whose putting was streaky, and what he marvels about even today was missing only one fairway and hitting every green, every shot except one left below the cup on the lightning-fast greens. 'That's hard to do at Oakmont, to hit 18 greens and have no downhill putts,' Miller said. Both also had to deal with Arnold Palmer, the King, particularly in his home country of western Pennsylvania. Palmer had won the Masters for the third time in 1962. Nicklaus was a powerful 22-year-old with a crew cut — 'Fat Jack,' he was called — who didn't care about anything but winning and didn't realize the crowd was against him. 'He was the guy you had to beat if you wanted to win, and particularly here,' Nicklaus said. 'It was really kind of funny because I never really heard the gallery. I was a 22-year-old kid with blinders on and not smart enough to figure out that people rooted for people. I just went out and played golf. That's what I did.' If he could have donated one club to the USGA from his Open title — as players are asked to do now — Nicklaus didn't hesitate on the key to winning. 'I three-putted one time in 90 holes,' he said. Miller never got around to answering what club he would have donated — driving was key to miss only one fairway, his iron play was sublime in hitting every green. He did what few others even consider at a U.S. Open. He attacked, because he had to. 'I was more of a guy that didn't like it to be close,' he said. 'If that ball is going in the hole, I'm going to fill it up until the round is over if I can. None of this fancy stuff about hitting away from the target. I wanted to have the thrill of going for knocking down pins out of the green. That was my fun. I liked to drive fast and hit hard with the driver and that kind of stuff. 'I don't know, everybody does it differently,' he said. 'But that's just the way I thought.' Miller spoke how he thought, endearing him to U.S. viewers with his 29 years in the booth at NBC covering the U.S. Open, never afraid to use 'choke' when talking about pressure. Among the many changes that have occurred since their glory days at Oakmont: money. Golf Channel Staff, The prize fund is $21.5 million this week, with $4.3 million going to winner. Nicklaus won $17,500 for his 1962 U.S. Open title. Eleven years later, Miller won $30,000. That's true in all sports and particularly now in golf as the PGA Tour is in a money race with the Saudi backing of LIV Golf. 'Would I have loved to have had what's going on here when we played? Yeah. Obviously all of us would,' Nicklaus said. 'But I also was really pleased that ... Johnny and myself both trail blazed the way for what's happening today. I think if you look back at (Ben) Hogan and (Sam) Snead and those guys, they trail blazed it for us. 'I don't think that would have made any difference, whether we were playing for what we played for or what they're playing here today,' he said. 'If we would have had the ability to do this, I think we would have tried to do the same thing.'
