Golfers visit Stanley Cup during rain delay at Oakmont
As rain delayed Thursday's opening round of the U.S. Open at Oakmont, some players got a close look at the trophy recently captured by the local hockey team.
The Stanley Cup made an appearance in the locker room at Oakmont Country Club just outside Pittsburgh. The hometown Penguins won the franchise's fourth championship Sunday.
Forwards Sidney Crosby and Phil Kessel were both present as golfers took photos with the trophy.
