Few things are more electric in golf than when someone records a hole in one, and that moment only gets elevated further at a major championship.

This week’s U.S. Open at Oakmont Country Club is going to be a true test of golf, so if anyone can achieve the improbable feat of recording a hole in one, instantly gaining two strokes on the field, they’re going to be in a great spot to put together a strong round.

Let’s take a look at the odds of one happening, the history of holes in one at the U.S. Open, and my prediction for whether or not we’ll see one.

Oakmont has hosted the U.S. Open nine times but a hole in one has only been recorded once, by Scott Simpson on the 16th hole in 1983.

U.S. Open hole in one prediction

There are four par-3s at Oakmont and all three of them are relatively long. The 13th hole is the only one to measure under 200 yards, coming in at 182. The longest is the 8th hole, which measures a blistering 289 yards and could play at 300 this week.

There’s a reason only one hole in one has been recorded at a U.S. Open at Oakmont. This is an extremely tough challenge for golfers, and the long and difficult par-3s play a significant factor in that. It also hasn’t happened in three straight iterations that the tournament has been hosted here.

I’m surprised that we're able to bet the "No" at just -165 odds. To me, it seems like the obvious bet to make.
