Former PGA Tour winner shows yardage book in poor condition after rain-soaked US Open

The 2025 US Open was not a particularly smooth tournament. The Oakmont Country Club made excellent arrangements for this event, but the weather had other intentions. While the competition began on a beautiful sunny day, rain soon followed during Rounds 3 and 4. Interestingly, new photographs of damage caused by this rain have emerged, and a former PGA Tour winner, Smylie Kaufman, shared a glance at the wet yardage book.

On June 16, Kaufman shared an image on X, demonstrating how the rain completely damaged the yardage book, and the information inside was practically impossible to see. While discussing it, Kaufman joked that the yardage book was hanging by a single thread for "dear life." The caption to his post stated:

"Yardage book was hanging on for dear life at the end 😂 🌧️"

Kaufman is a former professional golfer who now works as a sports analyst. He turned professional in 2014 and has had extensive exposure to the world of golf. The peak of his career was in the 2015 Shriners Hospitals Children's Open, held in Las Vegas, his first and only PGA Tour victory.

Kaufman was taken aback after witnessing the circumstances at Oakmont Country Club during the final round of the 2025 US Open. The event took a severe turn after the rain, and many golfers' games were hindered. At the end of this year's US Open, J.J. Spaun clinched the title.
