This perpetual fitness obsession is why, on a recent Friday in June, I found myself strapped into the 2025 iteration: an electro-muscle stimulation suit. For 15 minutes, sporting an outfit that had me looking like a cross between Uma Thurman in “Kill Bill” and a Transformer, I lunged, squatted, and pressed around a compact, chic-ish space as the getup intermittently sent little electrical impulses through my body.

On June 2, the 31-year-old, who missed his PGA Tour card by two spots at the end of last season, qualified for the U.S. Open. At 6:45 a.m. Thursday, Docherty will tee off at Oakmont.
