Wilson scorches Home Course in Round 1 of U.S. Amateur

Golf Betting Lines

08/24/2010 - University Place, WA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Chambers Bay's showcase for the 2015 United States Open featured stunning vistas, rolling hills and difficult scoring conditions in the first round of stroke play at the United States Amateur.

Jeff Wilson wouldn't know.

The Fairfield, California native was busy blistering the Home Course, which yielded 20 of the 23 under-par scores on Monday. A solid three-under 33 on the shorter back nine allowed Wilson to make the turn in a share of the lead.

Then a blitz unlike anything seen all day in the great Northwest left a large margin between Wilson and the rest of the field. He parred the first two holes before draining a birdie at the par-4 third. He made it two in a row at the long par-3 fourth then added another deuce to his score on the nearly as long par-3 sixth. Fireworks ensued at the end, as Wilson eagled the par-5 eighth and holed his second shot for eagle and a back nine score of 29 at the ninth.

The first-round of 10-under-62 left him seven shots clear of a nine-man crew highlighted by Patrick Reed, the only man in the group to navigate the more difficult Chambers Bay in three-under-par. The scenic course overlooking water on the Northwest shore was awarded the 2015 United States Open back in February 2008.

Reed, a native of Augusta, Georgia, worked his way through the 7,700-yard-plus layout with three birdies, two bogeys and one hole-out eagle at the 521-yard, par-4 14th hole. He made two of his birdies and just one bogey on the front nine - a 3,972-yard monster.

The other two under-par scores shot at par-71 Chambers Bay belonged to Patrick Rodgers (69) and Patrick Cantlay (70). Defending champion Byeong-Hun An, the youngest champion at 17 years old last year, fired a two-under-par 70 at the Home Course, leaving him with Rodgers in a share of 11th place.

Play was suspended at 8:17 p.m. local time because of darkness. The players left to complete the first round will resume play at 7:00 a.m. local time.

Of the 40 rounds finished at par or better, just seven came from Chambers Bay. Each player will play both courses over the two rounds of stroke play while Chambers Bay will host the match-play rounds.

The two days of stroke play will identify a low 64, and the first round of match play begins on Wednesday. The second and third rounds are scheduled for Thursday. The quarterfinals will be Friday, the semifinals on Saturday and the 36-hole final is on tap for Sunday.
