Video: Oakmont 1st And 2nd Holes

We're off and running to Oakmont Country Club for the U.S. Open and the USGA is again posting flyovers on YouTube. So two holes at a time, here is one of America's great courses, this time as seen from a drone giving us some nice tee perspective to start off, followed by a hole flyover.

I'm not sure there is a tougher starter and certainly no green as difficult to start on as this one:
