Surges On Day 2 With Strong Performance
Sam Burns (-3) and J.J. Spaun (-2) get the honor of the final tee time in Round 3 of the 125th U.S. Open. Will that be a good thing?
Sam Burns capped his second-round, 5-under 65 with a 22-foot par save on his final hole. Burns ran into trouble off the tee at the par-4 ninth, his 18th, and took a penalty-stroke drop into the fairway. He played his third shot safely onto the green and then perfectly read a big-breaking left-to-righter.
Through 36 holes at the U.S. Open, Sam Burns already has made 11 birdies, matching the number winner Dustin Johnson made for the entire 2016 Open.
