Reporter recap: What it was like covering the U.S. Open at Oakmont Country Club

J.J. Spaun took home the title of champion of the 125th U.S. Open as the sole golfer under par Sunday night at Oakmont Country Club.

The championship rounds during the past week reaffirmed Oakmont Country Club’s reputation as one of the toughest tests of the world’s best. The course’s slick greens and punishing rough made for one of the toughest major setups in recent memory.

Throughout the week, Triblive reporters brought coverage of varied aspects of the event to give readers an in-depth look at all it takes to bring the U.S. Open together, and showcase the experience of the spectators.
