Wife of golf star Adam Schenk brings husband back down to earth after he qualified for the US Open
The wife of golfer Adam Schenk joked that she 'died of a heart attack' after seeing the cost of rental homes for next month's US Open.
Schenk, the world No 143, has qualified for the third major the year, which takes place at Oakmont in Pennsylvania from June 12 to June 15.
More than 10,200 golfers entered the 125th US Open via 100-plus qualifying events, including Charlie Woods and former NFL quarterback Tony Romo.
After Schenk secured his place in the field, his wife Kourtney began planning their week at Oakmont, which is just outside Pittsburgh.
Golfers and their families typically find homes for the week but houses near Oakmont are being rented out for up to $80,000 for a week.
'Adam just qualified for the US Open & I just died of a heart attack when I saw the rental house prices. Ooook Oakmont,' Kourtney wrote on X, before deleting her post.
In his 10 major appearances, Schenk has made the cut just three times, earning $600,000
US Open Rentals Oakmont finds visitors 'high-quality' rental homes near the course. There are still dozens of houses available.
Among the cheapest is a three-bed house just a few minutes from Oakmont. It is said to hold four to five guests and it costs $10,000 for the week.
Adam and Kourtney Schenk have two young children and a dog. The priciest three-bed available to rent is a staggering $48,000 a week.
Those players with bigger entourages face having to fork out even more for a home near Oakmont, with one nine-bedroom house costing $80,000.
Schenk has made more nearly $12.5million in his PGA Tour career. But in his 10 major appearances, he has made the cut just three times, earning around $600,000.
His best result came at the 2024 Masters, when he finished in a tie for 12th and took home $405,000.

Emma Raducanu: I'm ‘wary' when going out after stalker ordeal in Dubai
The 22-year-old hid behind the umpire's chair in tears after receiving repeated unwanted attention from a 'fixated' man before and during a second-round match against Karolina Muchova in February. At the time, Raducanu said she 'couldn't see the ball through tears' and could 'barely breathe', while she revealed now that the situation was exacerbated by her being unsettled without a full-time coach. Emma Raducanu hoped to move on from her stalking ordeal (John Walton/PA) While Raducanu still minds her surroundings, the 2021 US Open champion wants to move on as she approaches the grass-court season with coaches Mark Petchey and Nick Cavaday in tow. 'It was difficult,' she told BBC Sport. 'It was emphasised by the fact I didn't necessarily feel certain or comfortable in my own set-up and team so it just added to the anxious feeling. 'I'm obviously wary when I go out. I try not to be careless about it because you only realise how much of a problem it is when you're in that situation and I don't necessarily want to be in that situation again. Emma Raducanu (right) has Nick Cavaday back on board as a coach for the grass-court season (John Walton/PA) 'Off the court right now, I feel good, I feel pretty settled. I feel like I have good people around me and anything that was negative, I kind of brush it off as much as I can.' Raducanu, who suffered a second-round exit to Iga Swiatek at the French Open, is managing a back issue in the build-up to Wimbledon, having been hindered by persistent spasm issues for much of 2025. She will feature in the inaugural women's Queen's Club Championships this week, where she will take on Spanish qualifier Cristina Bucsa in the first round.
