Raise your hand if you've ever heard of Callum Tarren, MJ Daffue, Hayden Buckley, Matthew NeSmith and David Lingmerth.
I’ve got great memories of the place, and the whole time I’ve been out, I see shots that I hit and I see the places I was. “I’m just trying not to put any pressure on myself. Fran Quinn, the 57-year-old Massachusetts resident who got into the field via local and sectional qualifying, shot 76. Golf Channel reported that Spieth hit just three balls on the range on Tuesday, and played very little after that. Overall pressure when you don’t have any status and you are playing a Monday qualifier, that’s a lot more pressure because you know you’ve got to go shoot 6-under par just to have a chance. “Just excited with my start, and let’s see what the next few days holds.’’
BROOKLINE, Mass. (AP) — For one day at least, the U.S. Open was wide open. Five of the top six on the leaderboard played their way onto The Country Club ...
“If that doesn’t scream to you it’s the Open,” then nothing will, he said. He took his drop and left himself a 12-foot birdie putt to finish with a 69. “But I’ll take the 4 and run any day of the week.” But he got up and down from the sand, making a 13-footer to save par. Johnson shot 68 to sit in a seven-way tie for seventh after 18 holes. “Even though I’m standing up here slightly frustrated that I bogeyed the last, it’s a great start to the tournament,” he said. He missed the ninth green -- his 18th hole -- and settled for his only bogey of the round. In his attempt to win a major for the third straight year, Collin Morikawa made the turn at 3 under but didn’t make another birdie. Defending U.S. Open champion John Rahm also salvaged a 69 after driving wide left on the last two holes. But the best thing he can do for the legacy circuit is to keep winning. The other was four-time major winner Rory McIlroy, who slammed and tossed aside his clubs during the round but also made enough shots with them to remain just one stroke off the lead. “I never expect it to get easier,” he said.

On Friday those windows are 6:45-9:30 a.m., and again after 7 p.m. He's started his round double bogey, bogey to drop to 1-over, leaving valuable strokes all over the greens. Woo buddy, that would have been one hell of a clubhouse bar tab. That's 217 yardage on the tee sheet, maybe closer to 230 in the wind, and Burns hit it to within six inches. Mickelson enjoyed a cordial welcome at Brookline. Matt Fitzpatrick returned to the site of his 2013 U.S. Amateur victory and posted a solid 2-under, sitting two strokes back. Daffue is originally from South Africa. When he was a youth, his career appeared predestined. It's amazing, and still relevant as the current U.S. Open leader — by three strokes! It also hosted the 2013 U.S. Amateur which saw Matt Fitzpatrick win that event. Curtis Strange won the last U.S. Open at The Country Club, which was held in 1988. U.S. Open leader MJ Daffue has gone out in a 32, taking a three-stroke lead over the field. Like Southern Hills, designer Gil Hanse has been working with The Country Club to prepare for this U.S. Open.
The first day of the US Open has really set up the tournament, with Adam Hadwin a shot clear on 4-under-par. But with a host of big names lurking just ...
We’ve had seven winners all-time who trailed by seven or more shots after round one – 101 players shot 73 or lower on Thursday, keeping them in that historic shouting distance. The first round scoring average of the last ten U.S. Open champions was 69.1. Perhaps even more telling, 21 of the last 23 winners of this championship were inside the top-20 after 18 holes. Or maybe a more fired up one as people drowned their sorrows in beer? Yeah we have Rory, Rahm, DJ and other stars at the top of the leaderboard, but we also get total randomers On the par-3 11th he three-putts and drops back to one-under. He is on the move with two birdies in four holes. It would not be surprising to see that go up to five or six come days end. Both US champions of the past, Rose and Johnson both have putts slide by to fall back to one-under. Two similar shots can leave a straight forward trap shot or an unplayable ball in the lip. With a sensational par putt on the 9th he is out in 32 and three shots clear. Well he split the fairway and nearly found the green in two, before hitting a couple of pitch shots, and four-putting. To be fair, so much has gone his way today already that it isn't surprising to see the golfing god's take something away.
Two-time major winner Collin Morikawa fired a four-under-par 66 to seize the lead late in the second round of the US Open, with fellow big guns Jon Rahm and ...
The Queenslander’s frustrations boiled over on the 15th hole when he broke a club in anger. Six-time major winner Phil Mickelson missed the cut on 11-over 151. I’ve just got to figure out a way to focus a little bit deeper and really get dialed in for the next 36.” I’ve got to focus on tomorrow,” Morikawa said. Buckley, a 26-year-old American developmental tour player, missed the cut in last year’s US Open in his only prior major start Top-ranked Masters champion Scottie Scheffler, with an eagle and two birdies in the last six holes, was in a pack on 137. Rahm, a back-nine starter, holed a 12-foot eagle putt at par-5 14th, drove the green to set up a birdie at the par-4 fifth and chipped from the rough to set up a tap-in birdie at the eighth.
While defending champion Jon Rahm and four-time major winner Rory McIlroy are firmly in contention sitting just one stroke off the lead, it is the name at the ...
You have to give them credit, the two big surprises currently in a tie for first at 4 under look extremely comfortable. The short game continues to impress for the two-time major champion. Morikawa fired a 4-under 66 for the low round of the day and commands the solo lead at 5 under as of now. A tremendous approach shot into his final hole was good enough to push Hayden Buckley into a share of the lead. Joel Dahmen has reached 5 under and has tied Collin Morikawa at the top. T16. Xander Schauffele, Will Zalatoris, Davis Riley and four others (-1): His U.S. Open resume is fantastic on paper, but this presents the best opportunity to date for Schauffele. In his five prior top-10 finishes, he had yet to truly contend; however, with 36 holes remaining, he is only four strokes off the pace. Only four men have beaten him in his last four U.S. Open appearances and he has his work cut out for him if he doesn't want to add substantially to that total. T13. Sam Burns, Matt Fitzpatrick, Adam Hadwin and Beau Hossler (-2): Burns was one of three players to sign for a 67 in the morning wave, and the next logical step in his career progression is weekend contention in a major championship. T8. Scottie Scheffler, Nick Hardy, Matthew NeSmith, Patrick Rodgers and Brian Harman (-3): Carrying the momentum of his birdie-birdie finish from Thursday, Scheffler sure looked like the world No. 1 on Friday. While it did not begin without a hitch, the Texan put together the best approach performance of his career from a strokes gained perspective. T3. Jon Rahm, Rory McIlroy, Aaron Wise, Hayden Buckley and Beau Hossler (-4): Rahm played alongside Morikawa the first two days and was probably overshadowed by him. He had lost strokes with his putter in every start since the Masters, and so far this week at The Country Club, he has gained more than three strokes with the flat stick. Make no mistake, though: Morikawa is in for a battle over the final 36 holes with names like McIlroy, Rahm and world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler all within shouting distance.
