Now that the second round has been wrapped up, the gates have opened at Oakmont for the fans to pour back in.
The USGA issued the following media advisory earlier this morning warning of “extremely wet” and “very saturated” conditions around the course.
💬 “Due to significant rainfall overnight, combined with the historic rain experienced in the weeks leading into the Championship, the grounds at Oakmont Country Club are extremely wet heading into the third round of the 125th U.S. Open Championship.
“While the golf course handled the weather incredibly well and playing conditions remain championship ready, some areas outside the ropes are very saturated. Out of an abundance of caution and to ensure the safety of all spectators, access to certain viewing areas of the course will be limited throughout the day.
“Please note that today’s forecast has the potential of additional rain, and conditions may continue to evolve throughout the day. We will continue to monitor the weather and communicate any further updates as needed.”
Ticket holders who decide against attending in such conditions have been informed they will receive a full refund for their Saturday ticket.
