US Open live scoreboard SCORING
Some of the pros made Winged Foot a little more "gettable" on Thursday with 21 players under par, more than the entire week in 2006, Justin Thomas leading the way at -5 65. The vaunted greens were softer than expected, and they played in dead calm seem to be the main reasons.
As I signed off yesterday Corey Connors 71, Mac Hughes and Adam Hadwin each with 72 were in the clubhouse and have the late tee times today.
Young, long hitting Taylor Pendrith from Richmond Hill was just beginning with a par (10th) on his first US Open hole and he went on buoyed by a sensational birdie eagle finish at 8 and 9 to shoot 71 as well. He leads the stats pack in driving averaging nearly 350 yards after the opening round.
With the morning wave well under way, it's cool and overcast, a little breeze has picked up and only 7 players are under par so far from the early group. The ball isn't carrying as far as usual and scoring so far has been more difficult than Thursday where the field average was 72.5.
Thomas Pieters from Belgium made a big move this morning getting to -6 at one point, out in -2 33, but he has 6 bogey's coming in and finished with a 74, E.
So Taylor Pendrith and Corey Connors begin play T25 +1, 6 shots behind. Adam Hadwin and Mac Hughes begin T33 +2.
Today, Taylor was +3 through 16 holes, out in 35 with 2 birdies and 2 bogey's, he made 4 straight bogeys from #10, birdied 15, but made bogey 5 at the18th to sit 71 74 +5 with the projected cut now at +6
The other 3 tee off together off the first at 1.49pm, with Thomas still leading at -5. The cut is projected to fall at +4...
