Kuchar sets early Open pace
Print Edition
MATT Kuchar took over the lead of the 114th US Open at Pinehurst yesterday after fellow American Brandt Snedeker stumbled to a bogey and double bogey to begin the back nine.
World No. 5 Kuchar, a winner at the US PGA Heritage tournament in April, opened and closed the front nine with birdies and added another at the par-5 fifth.
Jordan Spieth, the 20-year-old Masters runner-up, shared second on 2-under with fellow American Clayton Rask and Sweden’s Henrik Norlander.
Snedeker, who had reached 4-under after starting with a 31 on the front nine, fell into a pack at 1-under.
Also in that group was five-time major champion Phil Mickelson, a six-time US open runner-up trying to complete a career grand slam, and past major winners Irishman Graeme McDowell, and Americans Webb Simpson and David Toms.
The 1-under group also included India’s Shiv Kapur and a trio of amateurs — US Amateur winner Matthew Fitzpatrick of England, American Maverick McNealy and Australian Oliver Goss.
Cool, overcast conditions kept greens moister than normal after days of heat and dry weather.
