Site: Oakmont Country Club (Oakmont, Pa.)

The course: Oakmont was designed in 1903 by Henry C. Fownes, a steel magnate and accomplished amateur golfer. It was the only course he built. The Pennsylvania Turnpike came along later and divided Oakmont, so players have to cross a bridge over the toll road to reach the second hole, then cross again to reach the ninth. Oakmont is renowned for its church pew bunkers dividing the third and fourth fairways, and its notoriously fast greens. It was built on 200 acres of farmland and had a links look until a massive tree-planting project in the 1960s after a club president took exception to a writer's reference to Oakmont as a "beast." The club recently removed some 5,000 trees to restore Oakmont to its former look.

Length: 7,230 yards

Par: 35-35 70

Cut: Top 60 and ties, and anyone within 10 strokes of the lead after 36 holes

Playoff, if necessary: 18 holes of stroke play on Monday

Field: 156 players (147 professionals, nine amateurs)

Purse: TBA ($6.8 million in 2006)

Winner's share: TBA ($1.225 million in 2006)

Defending champion: Geoff Ogilvy

Wrigley, it should be a very entertaining weekend. Good luck

Im predicting golf on Monday (18 hole playoff)

Should be fun they think this is tough wait until they see the Saturday and Sunday pin placements.

Good Luck to you to!

Wrigley, I believe the odds for a playoff were around +280, and I almost placed a wager on it.

Id say Mickelson almost hoping Cabrera makes it, if he misses the putt we could see a Phil withdrawl
