The third major of the year is set to begin Thursday, as the U.S. Open heads to Oakmont Country Club in Pennsylvania—a course that many golfers, including world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, have called one of the toughest on the PGA Tour.

If 2025 Masters champ Rory McIlroy wins the 2025 U.S. Open this week at Oakmont, he'll join some exclusive company. It's quite simply a rare feat to win both of those majors in the same calendar year. For a long time, those were back-to-back majors, but in 2019, the PGA Championship moved to May.

Rory McIlroy disclosed what he shot during a practice round at Oakmont ahead of the U.S. Open, and its 'Toughest Test in Golf' title seems to hold.
