Matt Vogt by hitting the opening shoot at US Open in Oakmont.
Usga
Oakmont, without. – Matt Vogt, who has made a name for himself in this 125 US Open being the sole dentist on the fieldgrew up in the area of Pittsburgh and for six years rated here in Oakmont country club. So you can imagine the excitement – and the nerves – following it on Thursday when he had the honor, at 6:45am to hit the opening ball in this championship.
It didn’t go well.
Vogt hit his ball hard in the 484 par-4-tuner courtyard 337 Jard-but left. like ORDER Left. As, the left of ORDER Left. When the small ball came to rest, it was not to the left rough, or in the left bunkers from the rough left, or in the rough in the adjacent hole of the 9th, or even on the 9th path. The small ball had completed all that immovable property and was placed in tough lining reverse The side of the 9th hole, a full wedge shot from the middle of the first road and 171 yards from the 1st green.

Literally a fierce start, but little refused to let the loose shake undo it. From his gnarly extension to the distant side of the 9th Street, he took a powerful lash with a short iron and landed his ball about 40 meters less than the 1st green. After retiring here for all those summer, little knew that it was precisely the blow he had to play, given the right road fields, steep towards the surface of the placement. (In the practice rounds earlier this week, players actually settled from 125 yards outside – with impressive.)
The small ball was touched down, danced two or three times and then rolled all the way to the green edge, coming to rest 40 meters from the hole. Two strokes from there and he had one of the wildest pars – and the most ardent – opening the pars you will ever see.
As far as this article is concerned, little was eight over 12 holes.
