UCLA Golfer Patrick Cantlay Tees Off in US Open Thursday
Nice article in the front page of the Sports section of the OC Register (Patrick Cantlay hails from Servite HS in Orange County).
From the article:
"It's something so difficult to achieve that Tiger Woods couldn't pull it off. Neither could Jack Nicklaus or Arnold Palmer. And in golf, it's hard to get much better than that.
A first-time participant has won just five of the 110 U.S. Opens, and the last time it happened was 1913."
The article also mentions that Patrick is intent on staying all 4 years at UCLA to get his degree, which is great to hear as well!

Cantlay is +4 after Day 1
Opened today with a Round of 75. Thus far, he is currently tied for 95th place (others to finish their rounds still) with the likes of Lee Westwood and Steve Stricker. Not bad company to start!
Cantlay doing us proud
Turned in a second round 67 today to go into the weekend at even par. So far his is the 2nd low round of the day and puts him in the thick of contention for runner up honors (McIlroy running away with so far at 12 under). In any case, Cantlay and UCLA got a lot of nationwide air time on the WWL broadcast. Way to go Patrick!
