Shapiro says Pennsylvania is arguably one of the best states for golfing Shapiro says Pennsylvania is arguably one of the best states for golfing Shapiro says Pennsylvania is arguably one of the best states for golfing Gov. Josh Shapiro stopped by Oakmont Country Club on Friday to watch the U.S. Open. According to Shapiro, events like the U.S. Open at Oakmont Country Club show off the state. He hopes that it brings people back to the commonwealth who traveled here for the U.S. Open. It's estimated that more than 200,000 people will have attended at least one day of the U.S. Open practice or championship rounds. "Trying to get a good experience with my son here. We follow golf," Tom Bent of Cleveland said. People from around the country came to western Pennsylvania to see some of the best golfers in the world. Governor Shapiro's office said golf alone is a $6 billion industry for our state. "It also opens up people's eyes to the beauty of western Pennsylvania, the great culture of western Pennsylvania," Governor Shapiro said on Friday. He said this event sets up the state for numerous sporting events and celebrations next. Not only is the 2026 NFL Draft coming to Pittsburgh, but with the nation's 250th anniversary, people are expected to travel to the Keystone State to celebrate. "I think the way they do it here at Oakmont sets a high standard for everyone else," Gov. Shapiro said. Sporting events like the U.S. Open have been a way to introduce our region to travelers. "It's really nice. It's a nice small, little town," Bent said. For others, Oakmont is a spot they wouldn't miss. They make it a routine to attend events at one of the most challenging courses in golf. "I'd rather be here than anywhere else. I've been to the Masters. That's wonderful, but I love Oakmont," said Jack McAfee of Houston. According to Gov. Shapiro, more than 90 golf championships are played in the state. Oakmont Country Club is an anchor site for the U.S. Open and will be back in 2033, 2042 and 2049.

Notre Dame offers 4-star 2027 Pennsylvania wide receiver Matthew Gregory
When Ja'Juan Seider made the move from Penn State to Notre Dame as its running backs coach, it opened the doors to many players in the state of Pennsylvania. The connections helped the Irish, as on Wednesday, a new offer went out to a Keystone State prospect in 2027 wide receiver Matthew Gregory. The 6-foot, 1-inch and 170-pound prospect is currently listed as an athlete, but will most likely play on offense when he arrives on a college campus. Advertisement Gregory is ranked as the No. 106 overall player by the 247Sports Composite in his class, making him one of the nation's best. He has a solid offer list at this early moment, as Notre Dame joined teams like Florida State, Missouri, Wisconsin and the Nittany Lions. He had an impressive sophomore season, accounting for 1,100 all-purpose yards with 16 total touchdowns. On defense Gregory picked off six passes as well, earning first-team all-league honors. Speed is a big part of his game, as he's been clocked at 4.35 when running a 40-yard dash. The hope is that this offer from the Irish get Gregory to make a visit to South Bend in the near future, and if that does happen, Notre Dame could be putting themselves in a great position to land the top prospect.
