You could say the 124th US Open really got going this Friday, when conditions started to resemble what one would expect from this tournament. Pinehurst No. 2’s greens, already devilish, turned dry and hard. Natural selection kicked in and, to general surprise, the strongest was not Scheffler, the golfer who has dominated the PGA Tour with most authority since the decline of Tiger Woods.
The Texan, who managed to score a much-deserved +1 for six roads on Thursday, never adapted to the new readings StimpmeterAnd he paid for it in spades. His +4 vs. +5 in the clubhouse gave him a chance to make the cut with the pin. It will be his first miss at the St. Jude Championship since August 2022. They put him on the ropes for his double bogey at the par 5 fifth, in which he choked after missing the green on the left, a definite condemnation, and his zero production of birdies, an anomaly that at this point could almost be considered a Poltergeist,

His case is astonishing because it is what it is today, not because of the context which was ‘every man for himself’, with only 14 players on a par. A US Open board with the top portion falling off Rory McIlroy. However, the Northern Irishman saved the day when the putts just didn’t want to go in and, barring an unexpected uptick in the afternoon, will be within winning range with his +2 to -3 this weekend.,
A fight in which the Belgian Detry joined, who was already brilliant at the PGA Championship and who signed this Friday at -3 to -4. Also there is the Japanese Matsuyama (-4 to -2), the charismatic Korean Tom Kim (-2 to -1) and the last player to join the circle of major champions, Xander Schauffele who was the best star of the match of the day, the man who played with Scheffler and Rory (-1 to -1).and he remained -1 to -4 DeChambeau, another threat.
Chacarra, K.O.
Who concluded his participation in this US Open, his first experience in a big Open, was Eugenio Chacarra from Madrid, who went in the opposite direction from necessary, with +3 to +8.. He made a double bogey on 16 (he came out on 10), when he had made six consecutive pars and still had a real chance to climb into the good half of the classification. He partially recovered it on 17, but gave up definitively with three bogeys between 2 and 7, followed by another birdie on 9. The ballot went to Puig, putting more pressure on his duties because for him a ticket to Saturday was also a ticket to the Olympic Games. The Catalan met his goal directly over the weekend and in Paris, with a -2 for +4.
