Players began arriving at Oakmont on Sunday with umbrellas and expectations for a U.S. Open to live up to its reputation as golf's toughest test.
Jordan Spieth was among the early arrivals, playing the front nine Saturday and 11 holes Sunday in a light, but steady rain. Turns out the USGA had a policy that no one could start on No. 10. Spieth went down the first, back up the ninth and headed to No. 10.
It was long. And it was wet. The area got pounded with rain on Friday, and heavy rain was expected again Sunday afternoon. As if Oakmont wasn't already tough enough.
"This course is built to be like this," Spieth said. "So they're not doing a whole lot different to the golf course. You hit a good shot, you get rewarded for it here. And if you don't, you're in big trouble. It's pure golf, no funny business about it."
Sunday also was when the final field was set, barring any withdrawals. Ryan Fox won the Canadian Open and was among three players - Cameron Young and Bud Cauley were the others - who moved into the top 60 in the latest world ranking to earn a spot.
