US Open : full leaderboard
It's not every morning a guy can wake up and say "I'm leading the US Open" but that's the case in the Hadwin household this morning.
Adam played some great golf earlier this year, he was in contention several times, just never put all 4 rounds together.
I watched all of his fine -4 66 on Thursday. He drove it straight, hit some distinguished irons, and yes a few monster putts fell as well as all those par savers. A superb day all around with 5 birdies in 6 holes from the 4th-9th and he gets to do it all over again early this morning 8.24am, this time beginning on the 10th tee.
I didn't think anyone would beat Rory's 67, he did the same thing as Adam, except for a drive in the rough at the 9th and the resulting bogey.
With the lead only -4 the field is bunched at this difficult Country Club in Brookline, only 25 players under par 70 and they include defending champion Jon Rahm at -1 along with Justin Thomas. Matt Fitzpatrick, Justin Rose and Dustin Johnson are all -2,
Canadians:
Apart from Roger Sloan +6 76, (2.31 10th tee) the other 4 Canucks are right in the mix. Corey Connors was in the late wave beginning off the 10th tee had 2 early bogey's but recovered immediately with 2 birdies, and after a bogey and a birdie coming in he made a 3 putt at the 9th for +1 71 T42. He begins at #1 this morning at 7.51.
Mac Hughes saved his front nine after 3 bogey's with an eagle 3 at the 8th out in +1 36, but was steady with 8 straight pars coming in and will be annoyed at his bogey 5 at the 18th for +2 72 T57. He is off the 10th at 2.09 today.
Ben Silverman is also +2 72, (2,42 10th tee) while Nick Taylor 6 bogey's 3 birdies is +3 73 T124. (8.13 10th tee)
Weather:
Warm, windy day 20kph -27kph SW - W with 36% chance of rain around 2pm. With the wind on these small greens and penal rough expect scoring to be at a premium.
