Monty Leading After First Day of US Open

Colin Montgomerie leads the US Open field after the first day of play. Monty is the only player under par followed closely by Jim Furyk and and Phil Mickelson at even par.

Montgomerie had 3 bogeys but joined with them 4 birdies to stick under par. He started out 1 and 3 (the 216 yard par 3 at Winged Foot) with a bogey but came on strong for the remainder of the round. A big surprise for the day was Tiger Woods and his 6 over par 76 to finish out the round. The course took it’s toll on everyone having 22 others joining Woods at 6 over par.

Another notable was 16 year Hawaii youngster Tadd Fujikawa finishing the course at 11 over par. Not too bad a finish for the youngin’.
