Torrey Pines Golf Course, La Jolla, CA — June 18, 2021
The 121st United States Open Golf Championship is underway with Day 1 in the books from Torrey Pines Golf Course just outside San Diego, CA. Things just got started a little late, a 90-minute fog delay Thursday morning caused play to be suspended in Round 1 prior to the completion of all rounds.
Golfers will return to the course early Friday to finish the opening 18 and then move into Round 2 play.
The Leaders
Russell Henley posted the early lead in the clubhouse with a 4 under par 67. Louis Oosthuizen joined him at -4 late in the day and has a chance to take the lead outright as he has two holes yet to play to complete his opening round. Sebastian Munoz is 2 under after 14 holes of play and could still make a run at the top spot.
Francesco Molinari and Rafa Cabrera Bello sit in the clubhouse a stroke behind the leaders at -3. Hayden Buckley, Hideki Matsuyama, Jon Rahm, Brooks Koepka, and Xander Schauffele share the 5th position with Munoz, currently at -2.
Notables
Rory McIlroy finished his day at -1, Sergio Garcia and Dustin Johnson are part of a large group at even par.
Bubba Watson and Tommy Fleetwood are 1 over par. Defending Champion Bryson DeChambeau carded 6 bogeys and 4 birdies on his way to a 2 over par score of 73. Justin Thomas and Matt Kuchar are also +2.
PGA Champions Phil Mickelson and Collin Morikawa sit 6 strokes off the lead at +4. Jordan Spieth could manage just a single birdie to go with 5 bogies and a double bogey for a score of 77, 6 strokes over par.
