Oakmont boasts many distinctive features, but none is more striking than the Pennsylvania Turnpike cutting through the heart of the course.

Mike Lange was the greatest sports broadcaster in the history of Pittsburgh. So, in losing him, that makes tonight one of the saddest nights in Pittsburgh sports history.
Smile, though. Because you can indefinitely brag to future generations that he was the soundtrack of your wonderful Pittsburgh life. And that anyone else - just simply ain’t it. Because they ain’t Mike Lange.
When I was playing as the Pens in NHL growing up, I’d literally turn the broadcast volume down and imitate Mike Lange. That’s how much he meant to my childhood.
RIP to an absolute king 💔
