U.S. Open, Day 1

Day 1 at the 2011 U.S. Open saw all three Bulldogs post solid rounds in the second major championship of the year.  Bubba Watson was the low Bulldog after firing an even par 71 and sits tied for 20th, Christo Greyling finished with a 1 over par 72 and sits tied for 31st, and Russell Henley carded a 2 over par 73 and is tied for 44th.

The round of the day went to Rory McIlroy who jumped out to the first round lead with a 6 under par 65.

All three Bulldogs will play in the afternoon wave today and all currently sit inside the cut line.  Henley is looking to repeat as low amateur and he currently trails fellow amateur, Peter Uihlein, by a single shot.
