On Thursday, September 17, 2020, scores were relatively low for a US Open with Justin Thomas sitting on top of the leaderboard with a score of five under par. Rory McIlroy was just behind with a score of three under par.

These scores came from excellent tee shots all day long which helped them gain a combined 6.5 strokes off the tee to get off to a flaming hot start.

Either the course this year is playing a lot easier, or the players are much better than their peers from years past.

When the US Open was played at the Winged Foot golf course in 2006, there were only 12 rounds scored in the 60’s during the entire four days of the tournament. This year in contract, on Thursday alone there were 21 rounds in the 60s.  

As today’s final round of the US Open got underway Matt Wolff was sitting on top of the leaderboard with a score of five under par. Bryson DeChambeau was hot on his tail with a score of three under par.

The competitor in third place is even par showing the big buffer between first, second, and third place. With a majority of the final round still left to play anything can happen which is what makes the US Open an extremely special tournament.
