OAKMONT, Pa. -- Whenever the U.S. Open makes its way back to Oakmont Country Club, there are two numbers that are discussed at length. It's here, where the club's culture is centered around a course that likes to reach beyond the difficult and graze the impossible, that the winning score and the number of players under par is touted like a badge of honor.
In 2016, 10 entered the final round under par; only four emerged sporting red numbers. In 2007, only two players finished any round under par, and that happened in the first round. By the end, 5-over allowed Ángel Cabrera to raise the trophy.
