Elite 18: No. 13 at the Wildwood Golf Club

02:35

HAMPTON TOWNSHIP, Pa. (KDKA) — Founded in 1960, Wildwood Golf Club is hidden gem here in the Pittsburgh area and features one of nicest Par 4’s in all of Western Pennsylvania.

“Number 13 at Wildwood is just a beautiful golf hole,” said Wildwood Head Golf Professional David Yokitis.

The 13th hole at Wildwood Golf Club is one of the best Par 4’s in all of Western Pennsylvania.

Not only is #13 beautiful, but a demanding dogleg right that can play up to 430 yards.

“It requires a little bit of a fade off the tee,” Yokitis said. “Hitting the fairway is a must off the first shot here.”

Hitting the fairway requires a precise shot from the tee with a fairway bunker on the right and trees on the left.

“If you blow it way right, you can hit it out of bounds down the right side,” Yokitis said.

“Anything on this green is a bonus,” Yokitis said, speaking to the difficulty of the hole, which features a deceptively-large green.

“You take your 4 and you move on,” Yokitis said of making a par alongside KDKA-TV’s Rich Walsh.

Pittsburgh natives Joe Manganiello and Caitlin O’Connor move to Mt. Lebanon

Pittsburgh-area natives Joe Manganiello and Caitlin O’Connor are returning to their roots.

Manganiello, from Mt. Lebanon, and O’Connor, from Uniontown, have bought a home in the South Hills after getting engaged this summer.

On Pittsburgh Today Live on Thursday, O’Connor talked about the couple’s move from Hollywood to Mt. Lebanon.

“It’s so nice to be home,” she said.

While Manganiello and O’Connor are happy to be back in southwestern Pennsylvania, O’Connor said it’ll be a bigger adjustment for the beloved chihuahua Bubbles. From the Pittsburgh Steelers fashion show to the gala celebrating the new airport terminal, the tiny dog is seemingly always in Manganiello’s arms.

“Bubbles is a California girl. She really doesn’t like the cold. We wrap her in a blanket and she has many, many puffy coats. I bought her a Steelers puffy to put in her stocking, so we’re going to see how she does over the next few months. But it’s not that long. It’s not forever. Winter will come and go,” O’Connor said.

And they all got quite the Pittsburgh welcome. O’Connor said it snowed when they were moving in, and Manganiello was outside shoveling for over two hours. She said she’s getting him a snowblower for Christmas.

The couple won’t be braving the Pittsburgh winter for too long. O’Connor said they’ll soon be off to South Africa, where Manganiello will film “One Piece” for Netflix. He’ll star as the villain Crocodile in the popular Japanese manga series.

“Bubbles will be in a better state,” O’Connor joked, saying it’s currently summer in South Africa. “I just bring Bubbles to set and hang out. It’s really the best job.”

The Pittsburgh Steelers are re-signing veteran running back Trey Sermon, the team announced today. Sermon has had multiple on-and-off stints with the Steelers since signing with the team rookie mini-camp. He’s appeared in three games for the Steelers in 2025.

Sermon was drafted in the third round of the 2021 NFL Draft by the San Francisco 49ers. In 46 career games, Sermon has 505 yards on 134 carries and three touchdowns with the 49ers, Philadelphia Eagles, Indianapolis Colts, and Steelers.

The Steelers have the chance to put the Baltimore Ravens on the ropes this Sunday. If they defeat the Detroit Lions, the Ravens would have to defeat one of the New England Patriots or Green Bay Packers for the Week 18 matchup between the Steelers and Ravens to have any stakes. The Steelers can also clinch the division before Week 18 if they win their next two games and the Ravens go 1-1 or 0-2.
