Difficult conditions

Moving Day at the 122nd US Open might look like Grinding Day for the 64 players who survived the 36-hole block. With the winds nigh at The Country Club, and the USGA is having typical fun with its weekend pin placements, players are having a very rough time so far. According to the USGA, the Greens were rolling in the top 12 seconds and were cut twice and rolled on Saturday morning.

With more than half of the field starting its run, only two players to have played at least nine holes – Australia’s Todd Sinnott and Denny McCarthy – are substandard. Several high-profile players, including Joaquin Niemann, Bryson DeChambeau, Tyrrell Hatton and Max Homa, are over 5 years old or worse. – Mark Schlabash

pungent

Xander Schauffele isn’t the only member of his squad who will try to make a comeback on Saturday. His father and coach, Stefan, is back at The Country Club after being bumped into his upper lip by wasps. Perhaps not the sting he had in mind in windy conditions. – Schlbach

It’s a moving day!
