US Open, Day 1: C’mon, Monty!
Earlier in the week, I wondered if David Duval could pull the miracle comeback (like Se Ri Pak) and win the U.S. Open. DD shot 77, so maybe not.
But Colin Montgomerie shot 69 and is the day 1 leader and only guy under par. Monty had the lead also at the 1997 US Open, I believe, but lost.
Monty finished 2nd at last year’s British Open (where I got the chance to follow him along with the entire country of Scotland). A victory this week would be big, but I don’t think it would be as big a comeback as Se Ri’s or Karrie Webb’s this year. Let’s hope Monty has some better luck than before.
