The players are completing Round 1 and attempting to finish Round 2 following yesterday's extensive rain delay. Following two scrambling pars to start his weather-delayed opening round, Dustin Johnson was perfect – posting three birdies and not a single bogey to move into
second place at the U.S. Open. DJ's bogey-free round was the first
bogey-free round in a U.S. Open at Oakmont since Loren Robert's third round in 1994. Johnson, who finished runner-up to Jordan Spieth last year at Chambers Bay, played a quintessential U.S. Open round with
birdies at Nos. 6, 11 and 14 for 3-under 67 that left him one stroke
off the lead. His stress-free opening effort was short lived, however, with Johnson
heading back out for Round 2 about an hour after signing his
first-round card.“It's going to be a long day. I still do everything exactly how
you would if you were just playing 18,” Johnson said. “It's nice to go
and get 36 holes, 36 straight holes.” Meanwhile, Bubba Watson stands at -1 under par after Round 1, Jordan Spieth is at +2 over par and OWGR #1 Jason Day is at +6 over par. What does these scores foretell about Rounds 3 and 4 this weekend? Share your predictions with the Pro Golf Tour.
