U.S. Open: The wind is up and the course is dry. The Country Club is fighting back

BROOKLINE, Mass. — The scoring average during Thursday’s opening round of the 122nd U.S. Open at The Country Club was 72.77, or nearly 3 over but it dropped on Friday to 71.99, or 2 over.

Expect that trend to reverse this weekend.

No water was added to the course overnight or Saturday morning, meaning the golf course will play faster and firmer compared to the first few days.

The wind has shown up outside Boston, too, with flags atop grandstands throughout the course standing tall.

All of that to say this: The third round of the U.S. Open is going to be awesome.

Many have been waiting for the course to show some teeth, and Saturday is set up to be that day.
