The 125th US Open is getting underway on Thursday at Oakmont Country Club , just outside Pittsburgh, and the challenge is already immense. Known as one of the toughest courses in golf, Oakmont lives up to its reputation with narrow fairways, lightning-fast greens, and punishing rough.Adding to the difficulty, the weather could become a factor. After a dry, hot start to the week, chances of showers and thunderstorms are expected to rise over the weekend, potentially complicating conditions for both players and organizers.The first round of the US Open is set to begin under ideal conditions, with no rain in the forecast and mostly sunny skies expected throughout the day. Temperatures will be comfortable for players and fans alike, ranging from a morning low of 64 degrees to an afternoon high of around 87 degrees.Things aren't looking good on the second day, as we might see some disruption in play, probably in the late afternoon. There is just a 20 percent chance of precipitation at any point. For now, there's only a slight chance of an isolated afternoon shower or thunderstorm, but overall conditions remain favorable.The forecast for Day 3 of the US Open is far from ideal, with a 50 percent chance of afternoon showers and thunderstorms. Conditions could turn severe, as heavy rain and lightning are both possible. If storms do materialize, they could lead to delays and challenging course conditions, adding another layer of difficulty to an already demanding tournament at Oakmont.The final round could mirror Saturday's conditions, as the current forecast also shows a 50 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms. Forecasters note that this probability may shift as the weekend approaches, depending on how weather systems develop. With the potential for heavy rain and lightning once again in play, players and officials may need to stay flexible, as weather delays or disruptions could impact the closing stages of the tournament.The 2025 US Open will be aired live across NBC and USA Network, with the first round coming on USA Network on Thursday. Coverage of the second, third, and final rounds will be shared between NBC and USA Network.

Wimbledon increases prize pot amid players' push for greater profit share
The Wimbledon prize money is set to be increased by seven percent to a record pot of 53.5 million pounds for this year. The men's and women's singles winners will receive 3 million pounds each, an increase of more than 11 per cent on 2024. Meanwhile, a main draw berth is worth a minimum of 66,000 pounds, which is a 10 percent hike. The All England Club's announcement comes after growing player demands for a bigger share of revenue from the four majors. Also 20 leading players sent a letter in April to the heads of the Grand Slams, calling for greater contributions and discussions were held during the French Open. All England Club chairwoman Debbie Jevans said at Wimbledon's pre-tournament media briefing on Thursday the club was "absolutely committed to continuing our longstanding commitment to player compensation". "We're immensely proud of the fact that if you look back 10 years, you can see the increase over that period (of 100 percent) and seven per cent this year," she said. "We have listened to the players, we have engaged with the players. Of course we will always listen and discuss with them but the focus on just the prize money at four events, the Grand Slams, does not get to the heart of what the challenge is with tennis. "The challenge with tennis is the fact that the players don't have an off-season, which they want, they have increasing injuries that they're speaking about and we've always said that we as Wimbledon are willing to engage and talk with the tours to try and find solutions and that door remains open. "As yet, there hasn't been any proposal to us as to how the tour is able to change its structure. "There's a bigger picture here but, as a tennis player, they're always going to, I think, ask for more money." In a major change at Wimbledon this year, line judges are being replaced by a live electronic calling system. The All England Club follows the Australian Open and the US Open in implementing the change, though the French Open still uses human officials. Around 80 former officials will be employed this year as match assistants, with two on each court offering support to the umpire, while they will also provide back-up should the electronic system fail. Wimbledon runs from June 30 to July 13, with Carlos Alcaraz and Barbora Krejcikova the defending champions.

US Open Golf: JJ Spaun seizes early lead as Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy struggle
JJ Spaun celebrates after making a putt on the eighth hole during the first round of the US Open golf tournament at Oakmont Country Club. (AP) Oakmont: J.J. Spaun matched the best first round in a US Open at Oakmont to grab a one-stroke lead after 18 holes while Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy were among many stars who struggled. Spaun defied Oakmont's fearsome reputation by conjuring a bogey-free, four-under par 66 -- his lowest round in nine major championship starts. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! The 34-year-old American equaled the lowest first round of any US Open at Oakmont, a 66 by American Andrew Landry in 2016, producing only the eighth bogey-free US Open round at the Pennsylvania club hosting for a record 10th time. "I'm just overly pleased with how I started," Spaun said. "I hit a lot of good shots and tried to capitalise on any birdie opportunities, which aren't very many out here. "But I scrambled really well, too, which is a huge component to playing well at a US Open, let alone shoot a bogey-free round." — usopengolf (@usopengolf) Spaun started on the back nine, birdied four of his first eight holes, then parred his way to the clubhouse, his first-nine 31 a best for an Oakmont US Open. "This is probably one of my better putting rounds all season," Spaun said. He salvaged pars after finding the Church Pew bunker at the fourth hole and a bunker at the sixth. "Those are huge, especially at a US Open, to keep your round going and not go the other way," Spaun said. South African Thriston Lawrence was second on 67 with South Koreans Kim Si-woo and Im Sung-jae on 68 with five-time major winner Brooks Kopeka. "I definitely think it was gettable," Koepka said of the course. American Koepka sank a 42-foot eagle putt at the fourth, made bogeys at the 10th and 14th holes then closed with back-to-back birdies from five feet at 17 and 16 feet at 18. "I played pretty consistent, drove it really well," Koepka said. "Iron play was pretty good. When I did miss it, I felt like I missed it in the correct spots." World number one Scheffler, trying to win back-to-back majors after taking the PGA Championship in May, endured a roller-coaster round of 73 with three birdies and six bogeys -- his worst opening major round to par. "I made some silly mistakes out there," Scheffler said. "But at the same time, I made some key putts and some good momentum saves -- overall just need to be a little sharper." Scheffler, whose nine wins last year included Paris Olympic gold, has won three of his past four starts. Second-ranked McIlroy, who completed a career Grand Slam by winning the Masters, shot 74. The back-nine starter birdied 11 and 12 but made four bogeys and a double bogey on his second nine. Defending champion Bryson DeChambeau shot 73 with five bogeys and two birdies. "Pretty disappointed with how I played," DeChambeau said. Six-time US Open runner-up Phil Mickelson, who turns 55 on Monday, opened with a 74 in his bid to complete a career Grand Slam. Im briefly had the solo lead at five-under but three bogeys in his last seven holes derailed him. "I played five-under but ended up at two-under," Im said. "I planned to shoot under par, so I made the goal." Two-time major winner Jon Rahm was in a pack on 69. "I'm extremely happy," the Spaniard said. "I played some incredible golf to shoot one-under." Reed makes an albatross American Patrick Reed made the fourth albatross in US Open history with a three-wood from the fairway from 286 yards on the fourth hole -- the first at any major since Nick Watney in the 2012 US Open at Olympic Club. "Just happened to be a perfect spot, perfect club," Reed said. "For it to go obviously is a bonus." Ireland's Shane Lowry holed out from 160 yards out in the fairway for the first US Open eagle at Oakmont's third hole, but it was his lone bright spot in shooting 79. American Maxwell Moldovan made the first US Open eagle at the first, holing out from the fairway from 189 yards, then looking to the heavens with a smile. He fired a 76. js/bb

The 34-year-old American delivered a flawless, bogey-free four-under 66 — his lowest score in nine major championship appearances — to tame Oakmont's notoriously punishing layout. Spaun's round tied the lowest first-round score at a US Open at Oakmont, matching Andrew Landry's 66 from 2016, and marked just the eighth bogey-free round in US Open history at the iconic Pennsylvania venue, which is hosting the championship for a record 10th time. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Air conditioners without external unit.

Scheffler's round featured three birdies offset by six bogeys, a rare struggle for the in-form American who had won three of his last four starts, including a golden run that featured Olympic gold in Paris last year. McIlroy, ranked second, who achieved a career Grand Slam with his Masters victory, carded a 74. Starting from the back nine, he secured birdies on the 11th and 12th holes but struggled later with four bogeys and a double bogey.
