Golf Quote: “The mark of a great player is in his ability to come back. The great champions have all come back from defeat." — Sam Snead

Golf Stuff: Oakmont has hosted 17 USGA championships, including 10 U.S. Opens, making it one of the most historic venues in golf.  The club has seen legendary winners like Ben Hogan (1953), Jack Nicklaus (1962), Johnny Miller (1973), Ernie Els (1994), and Dustin Johnson (2016). One of Oakmont’s most famous features is the "Church Pew" bunker, located between the third and fourth fairways. This massive bunker spans 109 yards long, 42 yards wide, and contains 550 tons of sand. The bunker was originally created in 1903, evolving over time to include 13 grass-covered "pews" that make escaping extremely difficult.  Oakmont is known for its lightning-fast greens—Sam Snead once joked that he tried to mark his ball, but his coin slid off the green.  The course has produced multiple over-par U.S. Open winners, proving its toughness.
