US Senior Open leaderboard http://www.usga.org/content/usga/home-page/championships/2018/u-s--senior-open.html#!Scoring
The Broadmoor East Course in Colorado Springs features ankle deep rough, narrow fairway's and difficult, tricky greens. Throw in gusting wind and +40*c temperatures and you can see what a tough test lies ahead for the senior circuit this weekend. Pars are great, bogey is acceptable and birdies are rare. In other words it's another US Open set up.
Only 6 players broke the par of 70 in the morning wave, only 8 all day as the breeze picked up in the sweltering afternoon.
Jerry Kelly got it to -4 through his first 5 holes then held on for -4 66 and has a 2 shot lead over Miguel Jimenez, Deane Pappas, Kevin Sutherland and Rocco Mediate, all at -2 68.
Stephen Ames leads the Canadians at T9 E 70.
Other Canucks: Kendal Yonomoto T94 +7 77, Steve Blake and Ian Doig T112, +9 79, Philip Jonas T123 +10 80 and my old pal, Scarborough's own Rick "Bruiser" Todd, back after 20 years away from competitive tournament golf struggled around +16, 86 T152.
