Image source, Getty ImagesImage caption, Oakmont has been rated among the best golf courses in the USBBC Sport senior journalistThis week's 125th US Open will feature the longest par-three hole in major championship history at 301 yards. It has been called "ridiculous" by Collin Morikawa, who hit a driver off the tee in practice, and "silly" by Viktor Hovland, but will the eighth at Oakmont Country Club in Pennsylvania prove to be a gimmick or psychological masterstroke?

Rory McIlroy is on pretty much everyone's mind at the US PGA Championship. The world number two would have been coming in to this week as one of the favourites in any normal year, but given he finally won the Masters to complete the career Grand Slam last month, the hype is justifiably in overdrive.

The stats do not appear at first glance to fully back up Scheffler's claim, given McIlroy is well below the 2025 tour average of 59.5% in terms of accuracy off the tee, hitting 51.8% of fairways. However, he is the fourth-longest driver at 306 yards and tops the leaderboard for strokes gained off the tee, picking up nearly one shot on the field. By way of comparison, Collin Morikawa leads the accuracy stats at 73% of fairways hit, but is about 20 yards shorter per drive.
