Oakmont Country Club will not have to wait 13 years to host the U.S. Open again.

The United States Golf Association has informed Oakmont officials that it intends to bring the U.S. Open back to the famed course in 2016, just nine years after it hosted the national championship for a record eighth time in 2007, the Post-Gazette has learned.

Barring some unforeseen circumstance, the USGA will make the official announcement June 17 in Farmingdale, N.Y., a day before the 109th U.S. Open begins at Bethpage Black.
