Smith Tops US Open Leaderboard

"Today at the US Open, newcomer and amateur Richard Smith shot an outstanding 64 to claim a six shot lead after the first round of arguably the toughest of the four majors.................."

Ok, so who is this Richard Smith? Well it's me. Yes I know i am not really at the top of the leaderboard but we can all dream can't we!!!

As the first round of the US open gets underway today everbody will be wondering if the inevitable tough conditions will play into the hands of one Zach Johnson. After winning a very tough Masters by playing very steady golf is it possible that Johnson could win again.

It is certainly a possibility.

However, I am rooting for Justin Rose to produce his first major after some very solid performances this season.

Watch out here comes the Bogey Monster

Hi Guys,

What a great first day at Augusta National. Just 9 players under par and the halfway leader from a few seasons back, young Brit Justin Rose tied for the lead.

Well yesterday we had great days golf at The Masters, don't you just love to see the top guys having to really grind it out, it just makes for much better viewing, even Tiger had his share of it on the last two holes where the "BOGEY MONSTER" really did bite back.

Woods is out relatively early today so it will be interesting to see if he can put some pressure on the leaders and get close to the top of the lead. I am really interested to see if my fellow Brits Rose and Howell can keep their nerve and give us Europeans something to cheer about at halfway.

And who got the biggest roar yesterday, of course it had to be Arnie!!!

Arnies army were making plenty of noise as one of the greats opened the tournament as the honourary starter.

Lets hope the rest of the weeks golf is as exciting as yesterday.

Enjoy

Richard
