USGA : US Open Tee Times
The quiet man Patrick Cantlay leads after round one at tough Pinehurst #2, without much ado as usual -5 65, but a bogey free late 65 by newly reconciled Rory McIlroy grabs all the headlines..
If you have ever split up with the wife (and kids) even filed for divorce THEN reconciled, you will know it's a sobering, loving usually horny experience giving great relief all around !
That in itself may be the ticket to give Rory something extra this week at the US OPEN under a blazing hot 90*f North Carolina blue sky.
He hasn't gone bogey free in a major for 10 years and he won then. Pinehurst is only going to get tougher with no rain in the forecast and little wind, #2 will just bake out getting firmer, more penal and with just 2 par 5's in a par 70 there isn't much room for error. That's why -5 is the lead and don't expect it to get much lower.
Swedish star Ludvig Aberg was 2nd at the Masters, he is 2nd again -4 66 after just 1 year as a pro. Another DP World Tour stalwart Matthieu Pavon is 3rd -3 67 along with LIV jumper Bryson Dechambeau.
Thus -1 69 by Canadian Corey Conners is a great start, however 6 others joined him T9.
