Rolling report: Join Scott Murray for updates on moving day in Brookline
US Open
career. He’s just made two in the last 13. Elsewhere, Jon Rahm sends a glorious tee shot at 6 to five feet, but a weak birdie effort is always missing on the right. He looks utterly disgusted with himself. Meanwhile back on 5, Collin Morikawa makes bounceback birdie despite flaying his drive into the gallery. He bumps a wedge in to three feet, and he’s just one off the pace set by Scheffler.Rory McIlroy is in a hot funk.
His tee shot at 6 holds up in the wind and dunks in the rough. He can’t get up and down, and that’s yet another shot gone. He’s -1 ... and his mood won’t improve as he hears the roars ring across Brookline! Scottie Scheffler, who chipped in for eagle at 14 yesterday to ignite his charge up the leaderboard, lands a wedge just past the flag from 110 yards on 8 and screws it back into the cup! Another eagle at a par-five, and suddenly this-6: Scheffler Updated at 21.
Too long, maybe, because when he finally gets round to taking his shot, he chunks it. His ball settles into the semi-rough 20 yards from the green. He’ll be doing well to limit the damage to bogey here. He whips up and over a bunker, but 20 feet past the flag. Big bogey putt coming up.The wind is whipping across Brookline and nobody’s looking particularly comfortable right now.
Collin Morikawa’s tee shot at 4 disappears into tall fescue down the left. He’s forced to take his medicine and gouge out sideways. Up on 5, Aaron Wise makes a big error from the centre of the fairway, having laid up on the drivable par-four. He pulls his wedge into a deep bunker and can only splash out to 12 feet. He doesn’t hit the par putt, and drops out of the lead ... though unless Morikawa can get up and down from 100-plus yards back on 4, he’ll have a share again in a few minutes.
