finished on top. Woods shot a 6-under-par 65 for the lowest score ever shot in
a US Open played at Pebble Beach. The 65 also tied Woods' best opening
round in a major, the 1998 British Open. Woods' bogey free round consisted of
four birdie putts and well placed drives hitting 11 of 14 fairways. He is favored
by many to win and is seeking the 20th victory of his career.
Finishing a stroke behind in second place was Miguel Angel Jimenez, who shot
a 5-under-par 66. Jimenez shot three straight birdies on the front nine, then
finished with an 18-foot birdie putt. Third went to John Huston with 4-under-par
67 for his best start in a US Open. Finishing one stroke back from Huston was
Bobby Clampett. Clampett, who grew up on the Monterey Peninsula, birdied
four of his first ten holes.
Hal Sutton, possibly shooting the best shot of the day, sunk a 136 yard shot
on the opening hole for an eagle. Sutton finished in fifth with Angel Cabrera
and Rocco Mediate at 2-under-par 69. Finishing five strokes off the lead were
Thomas Bjorn, Brandel Chamblee, and Jose Maria Olazabal with 1-under 70s.
The first round was stopped today at 3:56 pm after fog reduced visibility to
