Els withdraws from the Open, but 11 South Africans to tee it up at Royal Portrush
Among the local players in the field are former champion Louis Oosthuizen and Thriston Lawrence, who finished fourth last year. Ernie Els of South Africa in action at the senior US Open Championship at Broadmoor Golf Club on June 29. Picture:Two-time champion Ernie Els has withdrawn from this week's Open Championship at Royal Portrush, which tees off on Thursday. Golf fans will be disappointed to not see Els in action at the year's final Major. Els has one of the best records at the Open, a tournament he won in 2002 and 2012. By not playing the Open this week, the 55-year-old Els will end a run of 32 straight appearances at the tournament, and 33 appearances in total. He played his first Open in 1989 at Royal Troon, and then from 1992 – his next Open when he finished in a tie for fifth at Muirfield – didn't miss an Open until now. The tournament wasn't held in 2020 due to Covid. Els has two wins, three runner-up finishes and two third-place finishes in his Open career. In total, he has nine top-five finishes. The Royal and Ancient, the organisers of the Open, haven't given a reason for Els' withdrawal and the player hasn't said anything either about not playing. He played at this last weekend's Dick's Open on the Champions Tour where he finished in a tie for 16th with a score of eight-under-par after rounds of 70, 69 and 69. In his most recent Open appearances, Els missed the cut in 2023 and had to withdraw with a back injury at Royal Troon last year. Louis Oosthuizen, winner of the Open in 2010, will tee it up at Royal Portrush from Thursday. Picture:Oosthuizen and the other SA golfers in field This week's 150th Open at Royal Portrush in Northern Ireland will, however, see 11 South Africans tee it up on Thursday, including former champion Louis Oosthuizen, who now plays his regular golf on the LIV Tour. Oosthuizen won the Open at St Andrews in 2010. His other best finishes are a tied second (2015) and tied third (2021). The other South Africans in the field are Christiaan Bezuidenhout, Dean Burmester, Darren Fichardt, Thriston Lawrence, Dylan Naidoo, amateur Bryan Newman, Shaun Norris, Aldrich Potgieter, Daniel van Tonder and Justin Walters. In five appearances Bezuidenhout's best finish is tied 49th at Royal Liverpool in 2023, Burmester's best in three showings is tied 11th at St Andrews in 2022 while Fichardt has so far missed six cuts in seven starts. Lawrence was in contention at Troon last year before finishing fourth (in three Open appearances), while this will be Naidoo's first Open after he captured the SA Open title earlier this year to qualify. Norris has played in five Opens before with a best finish of tied 61st in 2018, while Potgieter missed the cut in his first and only appearance up to now, as an amateur at St Andrews in 2022. Van Tonder will be on debut while Walters' only appearance saw him miss the cut in 2014 at Royal Liverpool. Newman will be chasing the silver medal, awarded to the best amateur, after the now 18-year-old qualified to play this week by winning the Africa Amateur Championship at Leopard Creek in February as a 17-year-old. The defending champion at Portrush is American Xander Schauffele.

J.J. Spaun Makes Personal Revelation about Wife Melody Ahead of Travelers Championship
J.J. Spaun Makes Personal Revelation about Wife Melody Ahead of Travelers Championship originally appeared on Athlon Sports. J.J. Spaun, the U.S. Open champion, will be teeing off alongside defending champion Scottie Scheffler. During his Wednesday press conference, Spaun described how the major week has been a 'whirlwind'. Advertisement He revealed that his daughter Violet will turn two on Thursday. As he spoke, Spaun shared the heartfelt story about his wife Melody giving birth to her, reflecting on another whirlwind week two years ago. "The last time I played here, it was almost a similar sort of whirlwind," He said. "My daughter was born Monday. My wife didn't get discharged out of the hospital until Tuesday, late Tuesday." "It was our second born was very nice enough to tell me, if I want to go play, I'll go play. So I flew out here Wednesday night. I got in at like midnight. Luckily, I had like a 1:30 tee time Thursday." J.J. Spaun carries his daughter away from the 18th hole while celebrating his US Open Championship win.© Michael Longo/For USA Today Network / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images Spaun ended up missing the cut back in 2023, carding rounds of 69-70 and finishing with a score of 1-under par. Advertisement "I had a week off before because I'm pretty sure it was the U.S. Open and I wasn't in," Spaun continued. "We had been in the Shea Birthing Center four days prior to that, getting ready, going in and out, being in triage for the birth. So I didn't really touch a club until five days before I even teed it up in the tournament. "So it was wild to come all the way from Scottsdale to Cromwell was kind of a journey and getting in late. I had to do some extra diaper duty for leaving her so quickly, but we made it work." With his first major title now secured and his family by his side, J.J. Spaun looks ahead to the rest of the season with confidence.

The 2025 U.S. Open Golf Championship will continue on Friday with the second round at Oakmont Country Club in Pennsylvania in what will be a historic 125th edition of the major championship, and you can catch all the action with FuboTV.

Photo byHow to Watch the 2025 U.S Open - Second Round Date: Friday, June 13, 2025 Time: 1:00 p.m. ET Venue: Oakmont Country Club Channel: NBC Stream: Fubo (TRY FOR FREE) Currently atop the leaderboard is American golfer JJ Spaun at four under par. Spaun has one win in his PGA Tour history and one win in the Korn Ferry Tour in his career history thus far. Spaun has never survived the cut before at the US Open, so for him to be leading after the first round is a fun early underdog story at the 2025 US Open Golf Championship. Meanwhile, South African golfer Thriston Lawrence sits in second place at three under par with two others, Kim Si Woo and Im Sung-jae, at three under par. Five-time major champion Brooks Koepka is lurking just behind at one under par. Koepka has won the US Open Championship twice in two years, 2017 and 2018, so he's a golfer to watch heading into the weekend. Tied with Koepka for fifth is two-time major champion Jon Rahm, who has won one US Open Championship in his career, which came back in 2021. Rahm also won the Masters in 2023, so he's another golfer who could make a move up the leaderboard this weekend, starting with Friday's second round.

Top Bonuses & Latest Golf Odds for 2025 Championship
Best US Open Betting Promos | Top Bonuses & Latest Golf Odds for 2025 Championship The 125th US Open Championship golf tournament tees off this morning. Scottie Scheffler, who won this year's PGA Championship by five strokes, is a strong favorite to win this tournament for the first time, but to do so he'll have to defeat the best golfers in the world. This will be a hugely popular tournament to wager on, and you can do that by signing up for one or more of the best US Open betting promos detailed below. Bryson DeChambeau is the defending US Open champion and ranks second in the latest golf odds at most sports betting apps. DeChambeau was tied for second in the 2025 PGA Championship and also won the US Open back in 2020, so he will almost certainly give Scheffler a run for the money and will be a top betting option for those who sign up for the best golf betting promos. Many bettors will also look to Rory McIlroy to do well in this tourney. McIlroy is one of only six men to win a modern career grand slam and registered his fifth major championship win earlier this year at The Masters.
