U.S. Open Winners and Losers, Day 2: Hatton’s jokes, Tiger’s irons, Brooks, Rory, Scottie, more

Tiger Woods carded a 78 in the second round of the U.S. Open at The Country Club. The 15-time major champion is now 10 over par for the tournament and in danger of missing the cut. It would be his first missed cut at the U.S. Open since 2015.

Woods, who is playing in his first major championship since the 2020 Masters, struggled with his irons on Friday. He hit just 5 of 14 fairways and 10 of 18 greens. He also needed 32 putts.

After the round, Woods said he was “disappointed” with his performance.

“I didn’t play very well today,” Woods said. “I didn’t hit the ball very well. I didn’t putt very well. I just didn’t do anything very well.”

Who needs to win the most? Can Scheffler get back into contention? What to expect on moving day at the U.S. Open

Three-time major champion Nelly Korda sent shockwaves through the Augusta National Women’s Amateur. Despite shooting a 1-under 71, she missed out on the cut by a stroke. She is one of several top players struggling for form this season.

On the other hand, Chun In-gee is in formidable shape and will be aiming to defend her title at the 2024 U.S. Women’s Open. Jessica Korda, who recently earned gold at the Olympics, is also playing well and will look to add a major championship to her impressive resume.

Lexi Thompson, who won the 2014 U.S. Women’s Open, is finally back to her best and should challenge this week.

The strategic reason Rory McIlroy doesn’t watch golf before he plays

**McIlroy’s Strategic Avoidance of Pre-Round Golf Viewing**

Ahead of the RBC Canadian Open, Rory McIlroy has revealed his unique pre-round ritual: refraining from watching golf. This strategic choice, McIlroy believes, helps him maintain a clear and focused mindset.

“It’s about trying to just block out as much as you can,” he explained. “If I’m watching golf on TV, I’m going to start thinking about what those guys are doing, and I’m going to start trying to compare myself to them.”

Instead, McIlroy prefers to concentrate solely on his own game plan, allowing him to stay in the present moment and avoid unnecessary distractions. This approach has proven successful, contributing to his status as one of the world’s top golfers.
