Oakmont boasts many distinctive features, but none is more striking than the Pennsylvania Turnpike cutting through the heart of the course. Brendan Porath dives into the history of this iconic intersection of infrastructure and golf. (Photos courtesy Oakmont Country Club Archives)

#ExtraCancha HUBO REUNIÓN 🙌 La noche de ayer, el presidente Trump anunció que tendría una reunión con Canadá y México la mañana de hoy. ¿Qué se sabe? Te lo contamos. 👇 #Trump #Sheinbaum #Aranceles

@BrendanPorath I’ve been pulled over 3 times in my life…2 were on the drive to the 2016 U.S. Open on the Pennsylvania Turnpike…Worth it

@BrendanPorath None of you are qualified to talk about Oakmont. You should apologize and promise to never do it again.

@BrendanPorath does the road feel at all in play on #1, 8, 12?

@BrendanPorath Noise pollution a big factor for me in rating courses. Oakmount looks a phenomenal test however low frequency noise from traffic is not ideal. I love Swinley Forrest but if you're being picky 8 & 9 bring traffic noise into play. Berkshire Blue similar.

@BrendanPorath From Philly to Ohio goes through Oakmont 🔥🔥

@BrendanPorath It just like old so freaking boring in aerial shots with no trees on it. I know it will look good on telecast and at ground level

@BrendanPorath You hear it though

@BrendanPorath That’s a “feature”?
