Dustin Johnson chasing retro performance at Oakmont
June 9 - Nine Junes ago, Dustin Johnson captured his first major when he solved Oakmont Golf Club better than anyone else to claim the 2016 U.S. Open. As the Open returns to Oakmont for the first time since Johnson's triumph, the 40-year-old squints at the rugged layout in western Pennsylvania and sees a monster. He played the front nine Monday in preparation for Thursday's opening round. "The course is just as hard as I remember, if not harder," said Johnson, who finished at 4-under-par 276 in 2016 to defeat Jim Furyk, Ireland's Shane Lowry and Scott Piercy by three shots. When asked where Oakmont ranks on his list of hardest courses, the two-time major champion didn't hesitate. "Probably this one," he said. "I've played some hard courses, but it all depends on the conditions. This one's hard no matter what -- soft, firm, windy, no wind." Oakmont played at 7,219 yards in 2016, but the course has been lengthened to 7,372 yards for this season's third major. "It seems like it's tougher this time around, but that's just maybe with the little bit of added length," Johnson said. "But yeah, somehow I figured out a way to get it under par. It was mostly the driving. Obviously even driving it in the fairway here, it's still really difficult. But I hit a lot of good drives and a lot of good iron shots." As one of the first prominent players to jump to LIV Golf in June 2022, Johnson generally faces PGA Tour players only in majors. He has missed the cut in five of his last seven majors, which includes this year's Masters and PGA Championship -- though he might put asterisks next to those two. "Last two holes (at the Masters), bogey, double (bogey), to miss (the cut) by a shot, I think," Johnson said. At last month's PGA Championship at Quail Hollow, Johnson fired rounds of 78 and 76 to miss the cut by 11 shots. "I know my score didn't reflect it at the PGA, but I actually played way better than the score," Johnson said. "I just struggled a little bit on the greens. Well, maybe that's an understatement. I struggled really bad on the greens." But his putter likely won't determine how well Johnson fares this week at Oakmont. Instead, it'll be his driver. "I have confidence in this golf course because I know I played well," Johnson said. "But obviously this week puts a lot of pressure on the driver. I feel like I'm driving the ball really good right now." Johnson is coming off a T10 finish at LIV Golf Virginia, his third top-10 showing of the season. He has three wins on that tour, most recently at Las Vegas in February 2024. --Field Level Media

Furyk & Friends event on PGA Tour Champions still searching for a home in 2026 and beyond
Furyk & Friends event on PGA Tour Champions still searching for a home in 2026 and beyond Show Caption Hide Caption Furyk & Friends PGA Tour Champions resumes after brief weather suspension The Constellation Furyk & Friends was briefly suspended on Sunday because of standing water on some of the greens at the Timuquana Country Club. Tournament host Jim Furyk said that the event will not be played at Glen Kernan Country Club due to timing issues. Furyk is looking for a venue that offers a challenging course, scenic location and supports charitable efforts. The PGA Tour Champions Constellation Furyk & Friends still needs a new home for 2026 and beyond. Tournament host Jim Furyk told the Times-Union on Friday that the event will not be played at the Glen Kernan Country Club, which had been speculated widely because Furyk is supervising the renovation of the private course near the Intracoastal Waterway that was purchased in January of 2024 by an ownership group that includes 2022 Players champion Cameron Smith. The five-year contract with the Timuquana Country Club, the tournament venue since 2021, runs out after the 2025 tournament, Oct. 3-5. Timuquana's membership voted in 2023 to not renew the contract. However, Furyk has been adamant that the tournament will stay on the First Coast, especially title sponsor Constellation renewed for another five years. "We are focusing on new options that will provide a challenging course for our players, a scenic location to share the beauty of NE Florida on our television coverage, somewhere fun for our sponsors and fans, and a great partner to help us continue our charitable efforts here on the First Coast," Furyk told the Times-Union in a text. When asked why Glen Kernan is no longer being considered a landing spot for Furyk & Friends, Furyk said it was an issue of timing. "The club has been closed for 18 months and right now [the club] is focused on getting settled in and working with the members and homeowners on providing the best experience they can day-in and day-out," he said. "The timing is not ideal at this time." Furyk did not speculate on a new site. Possible courses are the San Jose Country Club, the TPC Sawgrass Dye's Valley, one of the World Golf Village courses (either the Slammer & Squire or King & Bear), the Sawgrass Country Club (where Furyk & Friends was played for 10 years before becoming a PGA Tour Champions event), the Omni Amelia Resort or perhaps the Golf Club of Amelia Island (part of the Ritz-Carlton). Glen Kernan purchased in 2024 by Corner Lot Glen Kernan was purchased a year ago by Corner Lot, a development firm owned by Jacksonville University graduate Andy Allen. Smith, a Ponte Vedra Beach resident, won the British Open after winning The Players, but then left the PGA Tour to play for the LIV Golf League. Hampton Golf will manage Glen Kernan and the club recently hired former TPC Sawgrass general Bill Hughes to fill a similar position. Plans are for the course to open for member play in June.

Rounds of 59 or lower in PGA Tour history
Fourteen different players have shot 59 or lower in PGA Tour history. The first to do so was Al Geiberger — Mr. 59 — at Memphis in 1977. Jim Furyk not only shot 59, but also fired the only 58 in Tour history at the 2016 Travelers Championship. Jake Knapp became the latest to break 60 when he opened the Cognizant Classic with a 59 in Round 1 at PGA National in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida.
