Go to 7

No. 8

This is not the signature hole at Oakmont, but it will be the topic of conversation as the longest par 3 in major championship history when played from the tips. Some short hitters might have to hit driver. A bunker called Sahara is 100 yards long and sits left of the green, making the tee shot even more intimidating. But a well-struck club, probably a 3-wood for most players, will be rewarded. The green is large without too much undulation.
