Shinnecock is proving to be as tough a test as we all expected. One of the best U.S. Open venues saw an early round average score of six-over par.
Among those who struggled early …
- +5 – Jimmy Walker
- +5 – Brooks Koepka
- +5 – Hideki Matsuyama
- +6 – Daniel Berger
- +6 – Bryson DeChambeau
- +7 – Bubba Watson
- +7 – Phil Mickelson
- +8 – Jordan Spieth
- +9 – Jason Day
- +9 – Charl Schwartzel
- +10 – Rory McIlroy
We’re only giving you +4 or worse because at this point it doesn’t seem like anyone is going to go low and run away with this thing.
It should be noted that Tiger Woods is currently +4 through 4 holes at the time this post was written and published.
