Meet the man who's the marker for the U.S. Open at Oakmont. He definitely knows the course.
OAKMONT — Oakmont Country Club head professional Devin Gee got an opportunity of a lifetime in the third round of the 125th U.S. Open, serving as a marker playing alongside Philip Barbaree Jr. at the course where he works daily. 'It was hard,' Gee told reporters following the round on Saturday, June 14. 'It is amazing how different the golf course plays when it is firm versus soft but it was fun. To have our membership out there and the support that you feel from them is awesome.' Advertisement Rain postponed second-round play on Friday, June 13. When action resumed Saturday morning, Barbaree finished at 7-over par through 36 holes to make his first cut at a U.S. Open.

He also served in this role in 2016 when Oakmont last hosted the tournament. 'I knew coming into the U.S. Open that this would be a possibility,' Gee said. 'When I did it in 2016, I found out the night before which was probably a blessing because I was so nervous that if I knew anytime before that, it would have been torture. This time around, I knew a few months in advance after Scott Langley called me and said he'd be honored if I would play.' Advertisement Gee has held the role of Director of Golf at Oakmont Country Club since 2016. He succeeded longtime Oakmont head professional Bob Ford, who retired after serving for over 25 years.

Former champions fails to qualify for US Open
The 2010 champion returned to Emerald Dunes Golf Club in West Palm Beach at 7:30 am local time today, looking for a late birdie blitz to qualify for Oakmont next week. But he could pick up just one stroke in his eight remaining holes and missed out by five strokes on five-under after adding a 69 to his opening 70 and remains without a start in the US Open since 2020. Justin Hicks Wellington, Philip Barbaree Jr and amateur Frankie Harris tied for first on 11-under as Austen Trusow beat Luke Poulter, son of Ryder Cup star Ian, in a playoff for fourth and final spot after they tied on 10-under. Play also concluded at Valencia Country Club in southern California, where Joey Herrera beat Lucas Carper in a playoff for the final spot after their battle was halted by darkness on Monday. With Tom McKibbin also missing out, Rory McIlroy will be Northern Ireland's lone representatives at Oakmont next week.
