The USGA announced earlier this week that both the full purse and the winner's share will remain the same from a year ago, with $21.5 million total and $4.3 million to the champion. The organization bumped up the total prize money $1.

The U.S. Open field has officially been trimmed down. The second round of the tournament at Oakmont Country Club came to a close on Friday night and only three participants were under par. Sam Burns led all golfers at three under par while J.J. Spaun was second at two under and Victor Hovland rounded out the top three at one under par.

A day after a rather animated— and extremely frustrated —Scottie Scheffler pounded golf balls following his round, the World No. 1 was back at Oakmont's practice range in great spirits. Scheffler had only taken one shot less on Saturday, but having a one-year-old in tow made all the difference.

The 18-hole layout is nearly 7,500 yards long and hilly, with three par-3 holes longer than 200 yards alongside one par-5 that exceeds 600. Then there are the especially sandy bunkers and the New York crowd that can be, well...a New York crowd.

From an overhead view, the sight is somewhat jarring. The Pennsylvania Turnpike essentially cuts Oakmont's golf course in half.
