LOS ANGELES — There have been plenty of golfers posting low scores in the first two rounds of the 123rd U.S. Open at Los Angeles Country Club.
PGA Championship winner Brooks Koepka hasn't been one of them. «I'm not a huge fan of this place,» said Koepka, who is even par after 36 holes, on Friday. «I'm not a huge fan of blind tee shots, and then I think there's just some spots that no matter what you hit, the ball just ends up in the same spot. »I think it would be more fun to play on just like a regular round than it would be a U.S.
Open. I mean, there's, what, two 8s yesterday? That doesn't happen." Rickie Fowler and Xander Schauffele both set the U.S. Open scoring record with 8-under 62s about 30 minutes apart in Thursday's opening round.
Koepka, a two-time U.S. Open champion, said he played better the past two days than he did in the final two rounds of last month's PGA Championship at Oak Hill Country Club in Rochester, New York.
