US Open '25: Oakmont Is the Name that Stands Out in Golf's Toughest Test
- On June 2, 2025, eighty-four golfers competed on the North Course at Woodmont Country Club in Maryland, vying for qualification spots in that year’s U.S. Open tournament held at Oakmont Country Club.
- The grueling 36-hole qualifying day demanded strategy and stamina due to Woodmont's challenging length, tree-lined fairways, fast greens, and breezy conditions.
- After a tense playoff on the par-3 sixth hole, Trevor Cone, veteran Marc Leishman, Korn Ferry Tour competitor Ryan McCormick, and standout amateur Bryan Lee earned their spots at Oakmont, with Lee demonstrating impressive calm under pressure against experienced professionals.
- Cone, a 31-year-old PGA Tour pro, led the field with steady play; Leishman, a six-time PGA winner now with LIV Golf, and McCormick, a Korn Ferry Tour regular, also qualified.
- These qualifiers now face Oakmont Country Club’s famed course from June 12-15, where top players like Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy will compete on what is expected to be a demanding championship.
