bryson Dashambo struggled with the brutal Oakmont rough during the opening round of the US Open Bryson Dashambo faced the harsh reality of Oakmont’s unforgiving rough in the US Open’s opening round leading to what he called a horrible decision The defending champion who claimed victory at Pinehurst number two last June over Rory Moy started his title defense with a challenging three over par 73 on Thursday As Oakmont’s demanding conditions tested even the elite golfers even Scotty Sheffller golf’s topranked player finished over parambo particularly struggled on the par 512th After reaching the green and two the LIV golf star second shot overshot landing him in the deep green side rough His third shot then soared over the green into more rough resulting in two failed chip attempts before sinking an impressive French putt for Bogey Despite the mishap Dashambo’s long putt saved him from a worse score after his third shot debacle Reflecting on that moment he said “I was on a 45°ree ups slope so there’s really not much I’m trying to do regarding his third shot behind the 12th green I’m hitting like a semi half flop and it came out like a jumper and just shot and knuckled right.” I’m like “Well horrible decision but life goes on.” Yeah just a horrible lie It should have been a seven iron I should have just run it up there instead of trying to get cute with it That’s the US Open for you I’ve got to be more dialed in than what I was today His first round 73 was a close call and it could have taken a worse turn if not for an alert rules official at the fourth hole Dashambo struck an impressive drive along the fairway that took a detour over a spectator walkway taking advantage of tournament regulations granting relief from worn down areas He faced some confusion when his captain Greg Bodin lifted the ball without marking its position forcing Dashambo to place and then correctly drop his ball due to the proper procedures
