14 h. ago Tyrrell Hatton cool but Matt Fitzpatrick rages as Sam Burns keeps US Open lead

Nine-over Fitzpatrick lambasts course as Hatton gets to one overSam Burns still leads by one at four under, from Spaun and ScottIf a quiz question was to ask which English golfer a) lacerated the setup at the US Open, as another b) fired himself into contention before offering a much calmer assessment, the answers from the vast majority of observers would be obvious: a) Tyrrell Hatton, b) Matt Fitzpatrick. The reality at Oakmont was the complete opposite.First to Fitzpatrick. The 2022 champion finds himself unimpressed by this golfing brute, as he was happy to declare after a third round of 72 left him nine over par. “I personally don’t think it’s fair,” said the Yorkshireman. “I think there’s hard that’s fair and there’s just straight unfair. And I just think that this falls into that [second] category, really. I just don’t think it necessarily rewards good shots and I think it penalises bad shots too harshly. You can be more penalised for hitting a shot one yard off the fairway, s...

And despite it all, there were only ten players in a field of 156 who finished the first round under par.-4: JJ Spaun -3: Thriston Lawrence -2: Kim Si-woo, Brooks Koepka, Im Sung-jae -1: Ben Griffin, Thomas Detry, Jon Rahm, Rasmus Neergaard-Petersen, James Nicholas Continue reading...

3 d. ago US Open golf 2025: first round pits players against brutal Oakmont setup – live

Updates from the opening round at OakmontOfficial live leaderboard | Drop Scott an emailEarlier this week, the DP World Tour socials collared a few pros and asked them what an 18-handicapper would shoot at Oakmont this week. The most generous estimate was 120; Bryson DeChambeau guessed 100, but that’s just on the front nine. Several of them were certain they’d have to walk in, having lost all of their balls.As for the pros? Take the last couple of US Opens to be held here. Angel Cabrera won in 2007 with a final total of +5. In 2016, Shane Lowry held a four-stroke lead going into the final round only to shoot 76 and let Dustin Johnson in. This place – the jungle rough, the upturned-saucer greens, the excitable needle on the stimpmeter – makes mincemeat of the best of them. The lowest winning total at a US Open here is -5, and it took Ben Hogan to manage that, for goodness sake. (To be fair, Johnny Miller and Ernie Els won with -5 as well, Miller shooting the first-ever 63 in a major ...
