A Very Good Morning to you all & have a Wonderful Day!
😉
I don’t know what to do with myself as golf coverage starts at 4pm today!
🙄
Yesterday was VERY a changeable day of golf for everybody, par for the course apparently for The US Open as the USGA like to make it the hardest of the majors, as the lead changed SO many times with unknown qualifiers took the lead at various points! I had a very long wait for Rory to start near the end at 18:25! Then, when he did start it was a rocky one with a slight mistake on 2 but, still saved par but, an even bigger wayward shot on 3 that he putted 30 yards to save a double bogey: commentators kept saying all day it was the best double bogey they’ve ever seen; me? I thought yeah it was a super 30 yard putt BUT, it’s still +2 for that hole! He wasn’t the only one to double bogey a hole yesterday either not by a long shot! The rest of Rory’s round was like my old days of watching Tiger battle his way through a trying day as Rory birdied a hole then bogey one so, it was a day of going from -3 to -1 at the start then, hovering between -2 & -1! But, FINALLY, on the back 9 the bogeys stopped & he managed to birdie 3 holes to finish on -4 just one shot off the leasers on -5!

A VERY volatile day reflected by the leading score starting at -4 going to -6 at one point before Rory even started & then dropping down as the mistakes crept in across the board as nobody had a bogey free round with quite a few unknown qualifiers leading including one unknown ranked at no. 445 in the world!
😱 They all had their moments in the sun: can forever say they lead The US Open at one point!
So, it’s last year’s The Open Champion Colin Morikawa who leads with -5 along with Joel Dahmen on -5 both for the US that leads after day 2! A day of exciting, dramatic golf! Morikawa is peaking at the right time for his title defence of The Open next month!

There was even A Hole In One by the defending US Open Champion John Rahm at one point which after 2 battling rounds was off the lead by 3 shots on -2 with the lead at -5 that did him a world of good picking 2 shots to -4 just 1 off the lead!
😱 A Hole In One was never better timed!
Not a bad of golf viewing seeing my first ever US Open albeit nail bitting, sucking now I’ve kicked the habit, watching Rory struggle but, he kept fighting & he’s still in it!
