And they're off!!

The playing of the 106th US Open began this morning at Winged Foot GC in Mamaroneck, NY. Much has been talked about the two-tiered rough with the first cut set at 3 1/2 inches and the second cut set at 5 1/2 inches. Also, what about Tadd Fujikawa, the 5' 1" 15-year-old from Hawaii. (I noticed that neither of the PTI boys gave him much of a chance to make the cut).

Nevertheless, at 8:38 AM EST, the course is certainly winning. No one is under par. And, David Toms is in last place at +5 thru 4.

UPDATE (10:45 AM EST): Currently, there are 4 players under par. Including last week's Nationwide Tour winner, Jason Dufner (-2), and Jim Furyk (-1). Other notable scores: 2006 NCAA Individual Champion, Jonathan Moore, is even through 7; Phil is even through 10; Vijay is even through 12; Duval and Colin are +1 after the front 9; My boy, Tadd, is +2 though 5, including a double on 1... Looks like the course is playing difficult. Just wish that I was able to watch it.
