**U.S. Open Projected Cut: Tiger Woods, Scottie Scheffler Face Weekend Miss**

Tiger Woods and Scottie Scheffler find themselves in danger of missing the cut at the 2023 U.S. Open. Woods, fresh off his Masters comeback, stumbled to a 78 in the first round, while Scheffler, the world number one, struggled to a 79.

Projected to make the cutline at +8, Woods and Scheffler must improve their scores significantly in the second round to secure their spots for the weekend play. With yet another challenging round ahead, the chances of the two star golfers progressing further in the tournament are dwindling.

Pro sinks nearly 50 spots at U.S. Open after ‘one of worst breaks you’re going to see’

Golf pro Rickie Fowler plummeted nearly 50 spots on the leaderboard at the 2022 U.S. Open after suffering “one of the worst breaks you’re going to see” on the 5th hole.

Fowler’s tee shot landed in a fairway bunker, and his second shot found the rough. From there, he hit a provisional ball, which landed on the green.

As Fowler was walking to play his provisional, he realized his original ball had actually landed in the bunker. He returned to the bunker and played his original ball, which he then hit into the water.

Fowler ended up making a triple-bogey 7 on the hole, and he went on to shoot a 78 in the second round. He fell from a tie for 18th after the first round to a tie for 66th after the second round.

He may have one of the U.S. Open’s grossest habits. He also might win

Collin Morikawa may have one of the grossest habits on the PGA Tour. But he also has an uncanny ability to win golf tournaments.

Morikawa has won three majors in his young career, including the 2020 U.S. Open and 2021 Open Championship. He’s also won four other PGA Tour events, including the 2021 DP World Tour Championship.

Despite his success, Morikawa has become known for a peculiar habit: spitting into the hole after he putts.

Morikawa said he started spitting into the hole when he was a junior golfer. He said he was trying to clear his throat of saliva before he putted, and the habit just stuck.

“It’s not something I do on purpose,” Morikawa said. “It’s just something that happens.”

Morikawa’s habit has drawn some criticism from fans and fellow golfers. But he doesn’t seem to mind the negative attention.

“I’m not going to change who I am because of what other people think,” Morikawa said. “I’m comfortable with who I am and how I play the game.”

Bryson DeChambeau loses yardage book at U.S. Open. But still finds his way

Bryson Dechambeau was forced to play the U.S. Open without his yardage book for most of the second round. The big-hitting American usually relies heavily on his detailed notes on wind direction, green contours, and distances to flags.

But after the book went missing, he had to rely on his memory and caddie’s knowledge of the Brookline course. Dechambeau started the second round bogey-bogey but recovered to shoot a 2-over 73.

“It was tough,” Dechambeau admitted. “The fairways were a little soft from the rain and I had a hard time finding my footing. But I just kept grinding,” Dechambeau said.

He was still able to provide some fireworks, hitting a 382-yard drive on the par-4 10th followed by a towering 7-iron to 15 feet for a birdie.

Memorable moments from the U.S. Open at Pinehurst

**Memorable Moments from the U.S. Open at Pinehurst**

The U.S. Open is one of the most prestigious golf tournaments in the world, and Pinehurst No. 2 has hosted the event three times, in 1999, 2005, and 2014. Each tournament has produced its share of memorable moments.

In 1999, Payne Stewart won his second U.S. Open title at Pinehurst No. 2, just months before his tragic death in a plane crash. Stewart’s victory was one of the most emotional moments in the history of the tournament.

In 2005, Michael Campbell became the first New Zealander to win the U.S. Open. Campbell’s victory was a major upset, as he was not considered to be one of the favorites heading into the tournament.

In 2014, Martin Kaymer won his first U.S. Open title at Pinehurst No. 2. Kaymer’s victory was a major breakthrough for the German golfer, who had never won a major championship before.

Remembering John Daly’s epic Pinehurst No. 2 meltdown

**John Daly’s Pinehurst Meltdown: A Legend Reborn**

Rewind to the 1999 U.S. Open, where John Daly’s infamous meltdown at Pinehurst No. 2 etched his name into golfing lore. After a promising start, Daly’s frustration boiled over on the par-3 5th, where he hit multiple shots into the water. Amidst the jeers and taunts of the crowd, Daly’s game spiraled, culminating in a disastrous 18-over-par 90.

Yet, in a testament to Daly’s resilience, he emerged from the wreckage as a legend. His unyielding determination and fiery personality transformed the meltdown into a story of both failure and redemption.

Decades later, Daly’s legacy at Pinehurst remains a poignant reminder of the fragility of golf and the enduring power of human spirit. As the 2024 U.S. Open approaches, Daly’s epic meltdown serves as a cautionary tale for even the most accomplished golfers.

Tiger Woods’ next best chance at 10th USGA title could come in two years

Tiger Woods’s next best chance at his 10th USGA title could come in two years at Oakland Hills Country Club, where he won the 2008 U.S. Open by two strokes for his 14th major championship. The 15-time major winner received a special exemption to play in this year’s tournament at the Los Angeles Country Club, having not played a major since last year’s Open Championship.

Woods will likely receive exemptions over the next few years, but Oakland Hills might give him his best chance at another U.S. Open title. He matched the lowest score in U.S. Open history at Oakland Hills in the second round and ultimately beat Rocco Mediate by two strokes in an 18-hole playoff.
