This article is about Rickie Fowler’s performance at the 2022 U.S. Open. It does not contain any information about Bryson DeChambeau missing a putt and giving away his dirty socks, so I cannot extract the requested excerpt from the provided text.
Fishburn and Blair shot the second-lowest score in tournament history in the first round of the Zurich Classic, trailing only the 59 shot by Cameron Smith and Jonas Blixt in 2023. The duo carded eight birdies and an eagle on the par-5 18th to take a one-stroke lead over Denny McCarthy and Ryan Brehm.
“It was a lot of fun out there today,” Fishburn said. “We made a lot of putts and hit some great shots. We’re in a good spot heading into the weekend and the weather should be quite warm.”

G. Kim Falters to 76, Maintains LPGA Co-Lead
South Korea’s G. Kim’s strong start at the LPGA’s LA Championship has been marred by a disappointing second round. After shooting a bogey-free 64 on Thursday, Kim struggled to maintain her momentum, carding a four-over-par 76 on Friday.
Despite her setback, Kim remains tied for the lead with fellow South Korean Sei Young Kim, who carded a one-under-par 70. American Danielle Kang, who held a share of the lead after the opening round, trails by one stroke after shooting a 71.
Kim’s struggles on Friday were evident early on, with a bogey on the second hole and another on the fourth. She also had a double-bogey on the par-three sixth hole. On the back nine, Kim managed a birdie on the 10th hole but gave it back with a bogey on the 12th.
Golf announcers roundly criticized Rory McIlroy after he elected to hit a 6-iron off the 18th tee at Bay Hill Club and Lodge during the final round of the 2023 Arnold Palmer Invitational presented by Mastercard. With the wind blowing hard off the left and a water hazard on that side of the fairway, most observers believed McIlroy should have hit 3-wood.
However, McIlroy drove a low, towering 6-iron right down the middle of the fairway, leaving himself a 9-iron into the green. He then hit a superb approach to six feet and made the birdie putt to move into a tie for the lead. Though the 6-iron surely surprised the announcers and many viewers, the results spoke for themselves.
A fan was ejected from the Rocket Mortgage Classic golf tournament after picking up a pro golfer’s ball that had landed near his feet, incurring a two-stroke penalty for the golfer. The incident occurred on the 16th hole of the tournament’s first day, after Tony Finau’s tee shot had veered into the gallery. While the ball remained in play, a fan picked it up and handed it to Finau, resulting in the automatic penalty.
A caddie was struck in the head by a plastic water bottle during the LIV Golf Adelaide event. The incident occurred on the 15th hole of the Grange Golf Club in Adelaide, Australia.

The caddie was treated by medical staff and was able to continue with the round. No arrests have been made. The incident has been reported to authorities and the LIV Golf has stated it is investigating the matter.
**5. Dial Up the Backspin:**
For high, soft bunker shots that cling to the green, Open the clubface, make a steep swing, and hit slightly behind the ball to generate spin. This technique will help elevate the ball and produce a soft landing, giving you a better chance of getting up and down.

Cameron Davis rose to prominence as a top contender at this week’s Zurich Classic. The Australian has showcased consistent success in his recent performances, holding both the second spot in strokes gained over the past 48 rounds and a solid 29th-place finish at The Masters. Davis’s skills on the green have been his Achilles heel, but he has shown signs of improvement by securing a solo second-place finish at the Zurich Classic in 2019. His promising track record has earned him a spot as one of five players favored by experts at this unpredictable tournament.
