💨 Abstract

The eighth hole at Oakmont Country Club, set to host the U.S. Open, is the longest par 3 in major championship history, stretching over 289 yards. Golfers like Justin Thomas and Viktor Hovland have criticized its length, comparing it to other long par 3s in major tournaments. The hole features a bunker and a flat green, making it challenging but not the toughest par 3 on the course.
