U.S. Open 2025: Caitlin Clark asks logical question about Oakmont, PGA Tour pro answers
Tracy Wilcox
Add Caitlin Clark to the looooong list of golf fans playing the hypothetical "What would I shoot at Oakmont?" game this week.
The WNBA superstar–and avid golfer—made her return to the basketball court on Saturday in thrilling fashion with a 32-point, seven three-pointer performance. But on Sunday, it appears that she's posted up on her couch watching the U.S. Open. And it got her wondering about taking on the famed Pittsburgh-area track.
Clark settled on a (high) number for herself, but one that many—including Bryson DeChambeau—would agree upon. And then, after watching the world's best players struggle to break par, posed a question: "Is Oakmont even fun to play?"
Hey, it's a logical question to ask. And one that got a pair of replies from PGA Tour winner and Golf Twitter favorite Michael Kim.
Kim was also presumably watching NBC's coverage of the event after finishing the tournament at 14 over par. But even after going through the Oakmont grind, he added this:
So there you have it, Caitlin. And considering the world is your oyster right now, we're pretty sure you could get a tee time. Not to mention, you could get there from Indianapolis in under six hours by car. Just saying.
