There was just one thing he had failed to consider. It wasn’t a par-4. Instead, Morikawa was staring down the longest par-3 ever witnessed in major championship history.For this week’s U.S. Open, No. 8 at Oakmont Country Club is officially listed at 289 yards. But the tournament often inserts alternate tees, meaning for at least one round of play this week, the hole will likely reach 301 yards.
