Aberg is playing in his first U.S. Open, but that stat hardly seems to matter. Plus, Dustin Johnson and Tiger Woods head home early.
PINEHURST, N.C. – Day 2 of the 2024 U.S. Open is in the books. We call ’em like we see ’em around here. They are:We learned at the Ryder Cup last fall that he was a star in the making. We learned at Augusta in April that he was ready for a big moment. And we learned on Friday that he’s a good bet to hang in this U.S. Open right to the end, after staring at his name atop the leaderboard for most of the day while grinding out a one-under 69. Yes, it’s his first career U.S.
A hat tip for firing the low round of the day, a 66, to launch himself into the top 10 and right into the thick of it. The former Masters champion is three shots behind Aberg at the halfway pole.Colin Prater, a high school biology teacher and golf coach from Colorado, shot 79 on Thursday and was en route to missing the cut on Friday. But reread the first part of that sentence to remember why, in an era of big-time golf as a closed shop, the U.S. Open is still a national treasure.
