OAKMONT, Pa. (AP) -- Nick Flanagan forgot how steep the hill was driving into Oakmont, not surprising since he had not been back in 13 years.

Unforgettable was the golf course. It's where he won the U.S. Amateur.

''It's cool to come back,'' Flanagan said. ''We played (Nos.) 1 and 9, it all came flooding back so quickly. The golf course hasn't changed that much. I remember it being just as tough.''

But there is one big change: He won't be hitting any shots.
