Justin Hicks Finishes Round at 3-under

Posted by Noovy

Justin Hicks finished his round at 3-under, the first golfer to get in the US Open clubhouse at that number. Who the heck is Justin Hicks? Doesn’t it seem like there’s a Justin Hicks on the first-day leaderboard every year at the US Open? Here’s the Web site of PGA professional instructor Justin Hicks, your US Open leader as we approach the halfway mark on the day. Hicks teaches out of Royal Palm Beach, Florida, and apparently he can demonstrate what he preaches here at Torrey Pines.

American Justin Hicks sits in a tie for second place, but features the most interesting story of the day so far. Hicks didn’t make a par on the back nine at Torrey Pines, mixing in six birdies with three bogeys.

Woods overcomes slow start, 3 off lead at US Open. Karlsson was 4 under, a shot ahead of Justin Hicks, Stuart Appleby and Patrick Sheehan, who teed off in the first threesome of the day under cloudy skies and cool temperatures at Torrey Pines. At The US Open currently, there’s a four-way tie at minus-3 among Sheehan, Justin Hicks, Robert Karlsson, an obscure but very good Swede, and Stuart Appleby. Woods just birdied No. 9 on a great up and down and he’s 1-under. Look out.

Tiger Woods bounced back from a first- hole blunder to lurk just three shots off Justin Hicks and Robert Karlsson.
