Oakmont Country Club's 17th hole provides the ultimate risk-reward opportunity

When talking about the greatest golf holes in all of western Pennsylvania, you can't compile that list without including Oakmont Country Club's 17th hole. Oakmont is the most recognizable course in all of the Pittsburgh area and recently hosted the U.S. Open for a record 10th time. The 17th hole at Oakmont provides the ultimate risk-reward opportunity and last month, J.J. Spaun took a big risk and earned a big reward en route to winning the 125th U.S. Open Championship. The 312 yard Par 4 played as the easiest hole at this year's U.S. Open with more birdies there than on any other hole at Oakmont, but one birdie was the most memorable when Spaun pulled out his driver and was willing to take the risk. The gamble paid off in a big way for Spaun, setting him up for the 2-putt birdie that put him in the driver's seat to win the tournament, which he sealed on the 18th hole with another big birdie. The 17th hole at Oakmont Country Club provides the ultimate risk-reward opportunity, and at the 125th playing of the U.S. Open Championship, J.J. Spaun reaped the rewards of making a big shot at the right time. KDKA Drone Team / KDKA Photojournalist Ian Smith "It's such a great risk-reward Par 4," said Oakmont Country Club head professional Devin Gee. "It's just over 300 yards. I always love to describe it, no matter how you play the hole, and there are several ways you can choose to play it, but no matter how you play it, you have to hit a great shot at some point." The 17th at Oakmont has a treacherous green, which makes it hard to hold an approach shot from anywhere. It might sound like an easy hole, but the 17th at Oakmont is anything but easy. Oakmont Country Club Founded: 1903 Public or Private: Private Location: 1233 Hulton Road, Oakmont, PA 15139 Phone Number: 412-828-8000 Website: Course Designer: Henry C.

Meet Jhon Arias – a novel football hero

'I'm a dreamer,' said Jhon Arias, the softly spoken Colombian winger who has emerged as one of the stand-out performers at this Club World Cup. In Charlotte on Monday evening, some of his team-mates — 44-year-old goalkeeper Fabio, 40-year-old captain Thiago Silva — fell to their knees in jubilation as the final whistle confirmed Fluminense's place in the quarter-final. Arias was more reserved, quietly accepting his colleagues' congratulations but still finding the time to thank the match officials. Advertisement When he calls himself a dreamer, he means it. On the pitch, he plays with a sense of fantasy. Off it, when his team-mates are playing video games, he prefers to lose himself in a book. As a Colombian, he is drawn to the magical realism of the late Gabriel Garcia Marquez, who sought to blend the fantastical with mundane or joyless situations. This summer's Club World Cup could be seen as one such backdrop, a largely unloved tournament expanded beyond all reason and squeezed into a barely perceptible gap in the sport's calendar, matches played in sweltering heat in vast but often sparsely populated stadiums across the U.S. As entertaining as some of the match-ups have been — Monday's knockout games in particular — it has not been easy to overcome a sense of disconnect. But Arias and his team-mates have brought a liberal sprinkling of fantasy. In an era when the financial might of European football sees the South American clubs find themselves cast as underdogs — which would once have been unthinkable — Fluminense have now reached the quarter-final, defeating Champions League finalists Internazionale 2-0. For the third time in four appearances at this tournament, Arias, an unusual bundle of skill, speed, power and creativity, won FIFA's award for the game's outstanding player. It would be wrong to call him an unknown quantity when he has been one of the outstanding players in Brazilian football over recent seasons and was an integral part of the Colombia team that reached last year's Copa America final, but his career path, underlined by his impact on this Club World Cup at the age of 27, is something of a throwback. The economic imbalance of 21st-century football means that most of the biggest talents in South America are snapped up by European clubs in their late teens or early 20s. Others are snapped up a little later, heading to a smaller European club in the hope of making it to one of the biggest leagues. These days many end up in Saudi Arabia, earning sums that would have been beyond their dreams in South America. Advertisement By contrast, Arias was still playing in Colombia, having moved from Patriotas to America de Cali to Santa Fe, as his 24th birthday approached. He had won the Colombian league title with America de Cali and played in the Copa Libertadores, but he had not represented his country at any level. In terms of global reputation, it calls to mind a line Jack Lang wrote in this wonderful article about another Colombian late developer, Liverpool winger Luis Diaz, who 'looked like being one of football's 'if only' men — a winning lottery ticket lost down the back of sofa'. From a vantage point in Europe, where clubs are so fixated on signing the next big thing from South America, it can be easy to imagine that those winning lottery tickets do not exist in 2025. Football is not like it was in 1987, when the great Colombian midfielder Carlos Valderrama, hitherto unknown to European audiences, lit up the Copa America and earned a transfer to French club Montpellier at the age of 27. But Diaz was a winning lottery ticket for FC Porto, who sold him on to Liverpool for a huge profit. And Arias has proved a wonderful acquisition for Fluminense, an integral part of the team that won the club's first Copa Libertadores title in 2023 and one of the most influential players in Brazil over the recent seasons. He is now firmly established in the Colombia team, helping them reach last year's Copa America final. He has excelled at the Club World Cup. After his superb performance against Inter, Fluminense's social media channels lauded him as 'one of the best players in the history of this club'. He told reporters how much the victory over Inter meant — not just to Fluminense but to all of Brazil, all of South America, not least the Colombian town of Quibdo where he grew up. 'It's not easy to reach the top when you come from an area with very few opportunities,' Arias told reporters after the victory over Inter. 'I'm aware of this every time I step on the pitch, the opportunities to build a better life. It's a dream I have had since I was a child. Advertisement 'We are living in a wonderful and amazing moment in Fluminense. My family don't really understand what's going on, but these are memories that my daughter is going to be very happy and very proud of in the future. I know I have a lot of responsibility because a lot of children come from difficult lives, difficult contexts, and they look at me and see me as a role model, as a reference.' Again he talked about dreaming, about 'the desire to make history' with Fluminense but also about remaining 'humble' and respecting every opponent they play. 'We did everything right,' he said of the victory over Inter. 'One of our strengths is that we play in a heartfelt manner. We were playing one of the finalists of the Champions League, but we knew how to face the challenge, how to run when it was necessary, how to keep the ball when it was necessary and how to seize the opportunities when they came.' Arias didn't score, but he was prominently involved in Fluminense's third-minute opener, headed home by German Cano after some poor Inter defending, and he was at the heart of everything they did. In the first half he brought the crowd to its feet with an outrageous piece of skill on the touchline, bamboozling Alessandro Bastoni, one of the most coveted central defenders in Europe, and Henrikh Mkhitaryan. He also forced Inter goalkeeper Yann Sommer to full stretch with a couple of dangerous efforts from outside the penalty area. The scenes at the end, after substitute Hercules clinched the victory with a goal in stoppage time, were among the most uplifting at the tournament: Fluminense's players cavorting joyously with each other and with their raucous supporters — many of them Brazilian expats in the U.S. but plenty of others having travelled from Rio de Janeiro. 'The fans love the club,' Arias said, 'and it's reciprocal.' He called it a 'magical moment' for the club, for Brazil, for South America, something wonderful. You could see the emotion on the faces of Thiago Silva and Fabio, the two elder statesmen of the team, and among their fans, young and old. Arias looked more reflective, smiling, soaking it in, living the dream and, in front of a sparse crowd in Charlotte, happy to keep making the magic and weaving the storylines that this tournament needs.

Al Hilal stuns Manchester City 4-3 in Club World Cup on Marcos Leonardo's extra-time goal

ORLANDO, Fla. — Marcos Leonardo scored his second goal on a rebound in the 112th minute, and Al Hilal stunned Manchester City 4-3 on Monday night, eliminating the Premier League power from the Club World Cup in the round of 16. In a back-and-forth thriller at Camping World Stadium, the Saudi Arabian club took the lead three times, including twice in extra time. Kalidou Koulibaly put Al Hilal ahead 3-2 in the 94th minute, but Phil Foden — who entered as a substitute four minutes earlier — equalized in the 104th.
