Wolff: Then birdie, back to -3 and tied for lead.
There are two guarantees in life: death and taxes.
Looks like we can add Brooks Koepka at major golf tournaments to that list.
Wolff: Then birdie, back to -3 and tied for lead.
And double bogey. Sorry guys, but it's a bit fascinating. Obviously a rare talent, but gotta wonder.
Phil Mickelson is +4 thru 16.
Lefty may not make the cut at the 2021 United States Open after winning the 2021 PGA Championship.
And on his home course (born in San Diego, he now lives about 20 minutes from Torrey Pines). I'll admit, I fell for it.
Gotta be one of the more interesting oddities in sports: Phil has won 6 majors, but for the one trophy he's missing he has finished runner-up 6 times.
Yeah, a lot of golf left and it was cool to dream he’d get his 1st United States Open Championship at Torrey Pines, but after opening with a first round 75, although he may still make the cut potentially, he will enter play on Friday at least 8 shots back of the lead. Hard to see him winning from that position, but he still has 18-54 holes left in this tournament to make a move.
Opening birdie for the 2011 United States Open Champion at Congressional Country Club in Bethesda, Maryland, the Northern Irishman, Rory McIlroy.
For the 4 folks that picked Wake Forest golf legend and 2012 United States Open Champion at Olympic Club in San Francisco, California, Webb Simpson, expect a goose egg “$0” in this contest from him at this United States Open. He carded a +8 79 today.
Just saw a statistic that said Rory has never shot over par in a major when he opens with a birdie.
Gotta think he’s gonna be in the mix this weekend based off that statistic.
That's really reaching, buddy.
Of the 78 players to go off in the morning it looks like only 17 pros will finish even par or better...and the illustrious DBR pickers have 6 of them. (I was 0 for 5)
1/8 of the way through the tourney, lots of fun ahead. (Rory is 1/72 of the way through...maybe)
Lol, yeah Rory is one of my favorites, although he hasn’t played well consistently in majors lately and now that he’s a husband and father, I’m not sure he devotes as much focus and time to golf as he used to. His last major win was nearly 7 years ago at the 2014 PGA Championship at Valhalla Golf Club in Louisville, Kentucky. He won two majors that year, the other being the The Open Championship in 2014 at Royal Liverpool Golf Club in Merseyside, England.
Since then, he has some big non-major wins (the 2016 Tour Championship, the 2018 Arnold Palmer Invitational, the 2019 Players Championship, the 2019 RBC Canadian Open, and the 2019 Tour Championship).
Rory chips in from DEEP for birdie on 7.
Rory heads to the 8th tee box at -2.
Early results - looks like I get to try to sleep with the lead, but I like Cato's team a lot:

Ouch, Matsuyama went from T5 to a +5 round and is +3 on the tourney... looks like he will make the cut, but only barely.

Am I the only one hoping Brooks drops another shot so that maybe he gets paired with Bryson tomorrow?
